Canada of the French conquest

Told in three voices: that of the Huron chief Bird, that of Jesuit missionary father and the girl kidnapped and held hostage, this story full of violence and anguish takes us in Canada the time of the conquest of the French called "iron people." In part Native American, William Boyden said with passionate restraint difficult relations between the North American Indians, among them first, then with newcomers trying to impose a religion of love by people whose arms spirituality is deep and complex. One caveat: I would gladly cut 80 pages.
