Elle

a novel

Edición de la obra Elle

"Based on a true story, Elle chronicles the ordeals and adventures of a young French woman marooned on the desolate Isle of Demons during Jacques Cartier's ill-fated third and last attempt to colonize Canada." "The novel brilliantly reinvents the beginning of this country's history: what Canada meant to the early European adventurers, what these Europeans meant to Canada's original inhabitants, and the terrible failure of the two worlds to recognize each other as human. In a carnal whirlwind of myth and story, of death, lust and love, of beauty and hilarity, Glover brings the past violently and unexpectedly into the present. Mysterious, mystical, and thoroughly original, Elle charts the magical zone of delirium where races, genders, languages, and ideas converge - everything the history books leave out."--BOOK JACKET.
