The narrative is presented through a series of flashbacks as Elisabeth reflects on her past while beside the deathbed of her second husband.

The novel is based on real historical events and explores themes of colonial mentality, class, sex, economic differences, and the role of tradition, morality, and the Church in 19th-century Quebec.
