Title: Cantique des plaines
Description: When Paula inherits the fragments of her grandfather Paddon's journal, she embarks on an imaginative and obsessive journey to recreate the troubled history of her ancestors. From the hardships of the early frontier, through the Great War and Depression, and into the boom times of the fifties, Plainsong brilliantly captures the story of four generations of a family and a prairie town shaped by the sweeping forces of change.
