The Forest of Bourg-Marie is a novel written by S. Frances Harrison and published in 1898. The story is set in the Canadian wilderness and follows the life of a young woman named Marie Claire Fontaine, who lives with her family in a small cabin in the forest. Marie is a strong and independent character who is deeply connected to the natural world around her. As the story progresses, Marie meets and falls in love with a young man named Jean Baptiste, who is a trapper and hunter. However, their relationship is complicated by the arrival of a wealthy man named Raoul de la Roche, who is also interested in Marie. The novel explores themes of love, jealousy, and the conflict between traditional ways of life and modernity. Throughout the book, the forest itself is a prominent character, and Harrison's vivid descriptions of the natural world bring it to life in a way that is both beautiful and haunting.
