Each day we begin life, not from where we are, but from where we have been. The mind is life's most seasoned traveller. Maiden from the Sea is a breathtaking journey into the life and troubled mindscape of a servant girl from seventeenth-century France. While travelling to destinations unknown, Genevieve Laurier is tossed from the deck of an itinerant vessel and becomes stranded on an island in the middle of the stormy Atlantic. Frightened, she struggles to survive on the dark and mysterious coastline, her only company the two Irish fishermen who rescued her from the deep, a Beothuk warrior who provides her with food and clothing against his tribe's wishes, and the women who inhabit her dreams. Genevieve finds comfort in the arms of Nasook, the Beothuk warrior . . . but when she gives birth to his child, the law of man gives chase. Genevieve must take her family and escape these abusive shores--and her increasingly disturbing dreams. But just as she makes her last desperate attempt to elude her pursuers, Genevieve Laurier's past, present, and future collide in a single revelatory moment that could spell tragedy for her and all that she holds dear.

Through Genevieve's dreams, we learn more about her own life, as well as the stories of other women who are somehow connected to her.
I enjoyed this book; the writing is vivid and the idea of a young white woman left alone in the new world was intriguing. And, without spoiling anything, I can only say that the ending brought an entirely new dimension to bear on the meaning of the story. It raised a number of intriguing issues about memory and life. ( )
