Abstract:
In 1911, in a hockey game in Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula, local tough guy Billy Joe Pictou fires the puck into Monti Bouge's mouth. When Monti collapses with his head across the goal line, Victor Bradley, referee and local mailman, rules that the goal counts. Monti's ensuing revenge for this injustice sprawls over three generations. It is up to Monti's grandson, Francois, to make sense of the vendetta between Monti and Bradley and, by doing so, change the destiny of their town and everyone who lives there. Christophe Bernard is originally from Carleton-sur-Mer in the Gaspe region of Quebec. Please Note: The following title was included in a previous Bestseller list; libraries may need to re-order.
