| Description: | The Outlander tells the story of a stranger who arrives in an isolated Quebec village, Chenal du Moine, near Sorel. His presence transforms the life of this small community that has been closed to the world until then. The stranger wins the admiration of Father Didace, who would love him as a son and Angélina, the neighbour's daughter, who has never had any success with men, flourishes in contact with him. He leaves unexpectedly but his stay has left the village changed forever. This book which is a translation of the original Le Survenant, won the Governor General's Literary Award in 1950.

Author Bio for Guèvremont, Germaine
Germaine Guèvremont (1893-1968) est une romancière québécoise. Elle devient journaliste en 1926 avec un sursis de 1935 à 1938 quand elle s’installe à Montréal avec son mari. En 1938 elle reprend sa carrière. Elle travaille à la Paysana, une revue destiné aux femmes rurales, et aide son cousin l’écrivain Claude-Henri Grignon à sortir la première année de la série de longue durée Un homme et son péché à la radio. Elle écrit deux romans: Le Survenant en 1945, un des derniers romans du terroir, et une suite en 1947 Marie-Didace. Ce genre prône la vie agricole et les valeurs de la famille en face de l’exode des Canadiens francophones ruraux vers les villes et les travaux industriels. Ce que Guèvremont ajoute à ce genre plus ou moins traditionnel et conservateur est son réalisme psychologique.
