Par Sylvie Gobeil. 2007

quatre filles qui jouent près du navire. Jean Gobeil, son mari, déborde d'enthousiasme à l'idée du départ, une décision qu'il a prise et à laquelle Jeanne a consenti par amour. Tout quitter pour le pays du non-retour l'effraie. "Jean ne vous entraînerait pas dans une aventure insensée. Fais-lui confiance", lui a conseillé sa mère. Malgré la foi en son homme, rien n'a préparé la jeune femme de 24 ans à ces neuf semaines en mer avant d'atteindre la ville de Québec. Jeanne affronte le premier hiver en Nouvelle-France avec un courage teinté de nostalgie. La France lui manque. Partout, elle n'aperçoit que de la neige et de la forêt. "Comment résister?", se demande-t-elle. Jean la rassure. Ensemble, ils défrichent et cultivent leur lopin de terre à l'île d'Orléans. Deux autres filles et deux garçons viennent compléter la famille. Couple d'exception dans ce Québec du XVIIe siècle où mariage ne rime pas nécessairement avec amour, Jeanne confie à l'une de ses filles : "Jamais je n'ai laissé le travail prendre le dessus sur l'amour". Une vie chargée d'émotions que celle de Jeanne, la Poitevine! Une vie où l'amour qui l'unit à Jean triomphera. même au-delà de la mort." -- 4e de couvFaraway summer
