Le rossignol de Val-Jalbert

Synopsis of Le rossignol de Val-Jalbert

Christmas 1932, near Lake Saint-Jean, in the heart of the Quebec forest. Hermine, whom we met in 'L'Orpheline des neiges', is living happy days with Toshan, her Métis husband, and Mukki, their two-month-old baby. Raised as an orphan by nuns, the woman whom the inhabitants of Val-Jalbert call the "nightingale of the snows" because of her exceptional voice, has given up her passion for singing. She has resolved to be a wife and mother faithful to Quebec traditions. But can you stop a nightingale from singing? By yielding to the call of her vocation, Hermine will awaken the ghosts of the past in this magnificent, tumultuous, and romantic Quebec saga about a young woman torn between the promise of a brilliant career and her family attachments.
