Résumé
In 1920s Montreal, 75 parishioners die one terrible night at the hands of an arsonist. Among the survivors are Remouald, whose nightmarish, repressed childhood memories cause him constant turmoil; Séraphon, his invalid father who holds a self-destructive secret; and schoolteacher… Clémentine Clément, who obsesses in solitude over past tragedies, unrequited passions, and the grim suspicion that something is woefully amiss with a group of young boys in her class. Some descriptions of sex and strong language. Descriptions of violence. 2005. Uniform title: Immaculée Conception.
