From the Publisher

Despite the popularity and critical success Gabrielle Roy found as a writer, she lived a life often touched by sadness. In this definitive account of her life, François Ricard draws a penetrating and eloquent portrait that does full honour to his extraordinary subject.

From the Jacket

Towards the end of her life, Gabrielle Roy - celebrated across Canada since the publication of her debut nover, The Tin Flute - began passing portons of her autobiography to Francois Ricard, her agent, assistant, and friend. He was to have none of it published, she said, until after she was gone. Roy died in 1983, and the following year her partial autobiography appeared in print. Ricard then began more than ten years of work preparing the full, definitive account of this extraordinary woman's life. This book is the triumphant result.
