About this book
A Little Girl in Old Quebec by Amanda Minnie Douglas invites listeners into a vividly drawn world of cobbled streets, river mists, and the stirring hopes of New France. Young readers and history lovers follow a spirited heroine coming of age amid the fortress walls and wild countryside of early Quebec, where friendship, family duty, and first attachments shape a girl’s character.
Amanda Minnie Douglas blends historical fiction with gentle adventure and period detail, painting daily life under Champlain’s legacy: wooden houses, walnut gardens, doves circling above, and the ever-present blend of French and frontier culture. The novel explores themes of courage, loyalty, and growing independence without sacrificing warmth or charm, offering atmospheric scenes and well-drawn relationships rather than sensational plot twists.
Ideal for teen and young adult audiences as well as adults who enjoy nostalgic historical fiction, A Little Girl in Old Quebec is perfect for listeners seeking a thoughtful coming-of-age tale set in a richly imagined past. Tune in for an absorbing, accessible journey into a bygone Quebec that’s as educational as it is emotionally satisfying.
