Sur les berges du Richelieu. Tome 1, La tentation d'Aldée / Jean-Pierre Charland.

Summary:

"Vallée du Richelieu, winter 1905. Aldée, a skinny teenager, is heartbroken when she has to leave the paternal farm and abandon her ambition to become a teacher. Alas, to avoid famine, her father needs the wages she will get by putting herself at the service of the bourgeois of the city. Fortunately, the family of Dr. Turgeon is benevolent towards the new servant and Graziella, the old cook, takes her under his wing while promising to fatten her. When the handsome Félix Pinsonneault, a school friend of the son of the house, begins to diligently court her, the pretty servant sees a better future... Will she manage to measure the danger embodied by the arrogant boy and to avoid the downfall for a lost girl? In this novel, Jean-Pierre Charland plunges us into the world of the petty bourgeoisie of Quebec at the beginning of the twentieth century." -- Provided by publisher.
