The Queen of Unforgetting
Approaching a scholar and critic as legendary as Northrop Frye is a daunting task – but not for Mel Montrose. Armed with a prestigious academic award and a nothing-to-lose attitude, she convinces Frye to supervise her ambitious thesis exploring E.J. Pratt’s epic poem about Jesuit missionary Jean de Brbeuf. To embark on her study, Mel takes a job at the newly reconstructed historical site at Sainte-Marie-amongthe-Hurons, where de Brbeuf and seven other missionaries met their tragic ends. But Mel soon learns that delving into Ontario history is no escape from her own when an obsessed admirer threatens to destroy her academic career.
