Paperback. Zustand: Good. In June, 1671 Jeanne Marguerite Chevalier left France to find a new life in Quebec, as a Fille du Roi (King's Daughter) sent by Louis XIV to help settle the new colony. Arriving two months later, this remarkable woman went on to marry and then outlive three husbands and survive the births of nine children and the deaths of six of them. Impoverished by her first husband, she worked with the second to establish one of the largest landholdings in the region. Her marriage with the third one brought an almost fairy tale ending to her life. Despite an incredible number of challenges, dangers and sorrows, Jeanne was able to create a life for herself and her children that she could never have imagined if she had stayed in France. When she died at the age of 73 in 1716, she left a long line of descendants, including Rene Levesgue, the 23rd Premier of Quebec, the American writer Jack Kerouac, and the author's father. Written by her eighth great grand-daughter 300 years after her death, Jeanne Chevalier Fille du Roi is an engaging story, full of facts, mysteries and unknowns. It's a story of endings and new beginnings. And it's a story of much courage, stamina, will and many choices. Factually and contextually based, it also provides glimpses into everyday life in 17th and early 18th century Quebec as well as many insights into the creation of the unique Quebecois heritage.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - En juin 1671, Jeanne Marguerite Chevalier a quitté la France pour trouver un nouvel avenir au Québec, comme Fille du Roi, envoyée par Louis XIV afin d'aider à peupler la nouvelle colonie. Après son arrivée dans la ville de Québec, environ deux mois plus tard, cette femme remarquable dut affronter de nombreuses épreuves dont le décès successif de trois maris et la mort de six de ses neuf enfants. Appauvrie par son premier mari, elle travailla avec son deuxième époux à établir l'une des plus grandes propriétés foncières de la région. Son troisième mariage donna presque une allure de conte de fée à la dernière partie de sa vie. En dépit d'un nombre incroyable de défis, de dangers, et de peines, elle se créa, pour elle-même et pour ses enfants, une vie qu'elle n'aurait jamais pu imaginer si elle était restée en France. Lorsqu'elle mourut à l'âge de 73 ans, en novembre 1716, elle laissait une longue lignée de descendants. Parmi eux on trouve René Lévesque, fondateur du Parti Québécois et 23e Premier Ministre du Québec, l'écrivain Jack Kerouac, et le père de l'auteur. Ecrite par sa descendante du onzième degré, en commémoration du 300e anniversaire de la mort de son ancêtre, le livre, Jeanne Chevalier, Fille du Roi, est une histoire captivante, pleine de détails et mystères. C'est une histoire d'adieux et de recommencements. C'est aussi un récit de courage, d'endurance, de volonté, et de nombreux choix. Basé sur les faits et dans ce contexte historique, le livre fournit des aperçus de la vie quotidienne du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle au Québec. Il offre également plusieurs perspectives sur le développement du patrimoine exceptionnel du Québec. …
