Eugénie, fille du roy: 1 (Eugénie, fille du roy. #1.)
Par René Forget. 2006
"Eugénie, fille du roy, premier tome d'une trilogie, est une fresque historique décrivant l'odyssée de la jeunesse française, bien souvent…
normande, venue s'établir en NouvelleFrance selon les politiques coloniales de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle. La traversée de 1666 est le point de départ d'une idylle entre Eugénie Languille, une fille du roy, et François Allard, un engagé qui deviendra colon et artisan à Charlesbourg. L'héroïne devra contourner les manigances des dirigeants coloniaux et faire patienter son amoureux pour tracer sa propre destinée, alors que le pouvoir politique et religieux avait pour objectif d'accélérer le processus de peuplement de la Nouvelle-France par le mariage éclair des filles du roy. Puisant dans sa propre généalogie, René Forget raconte ce fragment palpitant de l'histoire du Québec, déterminante pour bon nombre de Québécois." -- 4e de couvBorderline: roman (Boréal compact #143)

cause de ma peau qui est à l'envers. C'est à cause de mes nerfs qui sont à fleur de peau. Tout le monde peut voir à l'intérieur de moi, j'ai l'impression. Je suis transparente.

Par Craig Smith. 2012

son complice, elle se consacre au vol d'oeuvres d'art inestimables, de préférence chez des particuliers très bien gardés. Ses nouvelles ambitions se portent sur Sir Julian Corbeau, criminel international (et probable chef de l'ordre des Templiers moderne) terré en Suisse pour échapper à une demande d'extradition. Or ce qu'elle est venue chercher au péril de sa vie dépasse l'entendement : un portrait de Jésus de Nazareth dans ses derniers instants. Commandé par Pilate, il serait l'unique représentation du Christ et posséderait de mystérieux pouvoirs. Mais au lieu d'y gagner la vie éternelle, ce vol pourrait bien signifier son arrêt de mort. Car alors que d'autres réseaux se lancent à la poursuite du précieux tableau, les cadavres s'accumulent dans le sillage de Kate, jusqu'à ce que la vengeance de Sir Julian Corbeau et le mystère des Templiers la rattrapent. Après deux mille ans de secrets et de convoitises, l'icône miraculeuse sera-t-elle enfin révélée au monde ? " -- 4e de couvLearned By Heart: A Novel
