Maria Chapdelaine

 

To follow a self-initiated project, suggested by friend and great designer Kezia, i am creating a series of book covers for treasured tales which i have read.  I first came across Maria Chapdelaine by Louis Hemon, whilst studying a module in Quebecois literature at the University of Liverpool.  I love the descriptions of life in remote, rural Quebec.  It's a fabulous read and my colours and design are inspired by the annual tradition of 'faire de la terre' - preparing the land for farming following the thawing of the winter snow.
