About the Book

See below for English description. Simple Kate habite un monde de sorcellerie et de superstitions. Un monde o? une m?lodie peut gu?rir les blessures, un monde o? les ombres cachent des pouvoirs myst?rieux. Lorsque la mis?re frappe le village de Kate, les habitants cherchent un bouc ?missaire et leurs regards se tournent vers Kate. Mais voil? que Linay entre en sc?ne avec une proposition: en ?change de son ombre, Kate pourra fuir et ?viter de p?rir sur le b?cher en plus de voir l'un de ses souhaits exauc?s. Kate saisit l'occasion en r?vant d'une vie nouvelle o? elle pourra enfin trouver une famille et un lieu o? il fait bon vivre. Mais Kate peut-elle vivre ?ternellement sans son ombre? Les desseins de Linay sont-ils plus noirs que ce que Kate n'aurait oser l'imaginer? Kate lives in a world of superstitions and curses, where a song can heal a wound and a shadow can work deep magic. When Kate's village falls on hard times - crops fail, and even Kate's father falls victim to a deadly fever - the townspeople look for someone to blame, and their eyes fall on Kate. Enter Linay, a stranger with a proposition: in exchange for her shadow, he'll give Kate the means to escape the town that seems set to burn her, and what's more, he'll grant her heart's wish. It's a chance for her to start over, to find a home, a family, a place to belong. But Kate soon realizes that she can't live shadowless forever - and that Linay's designs are darker than she ever dreamed. Original title: Plain Kate

Review :
Dans les m?dias ? Simplement Kate est un v?ritable triomphe de l'imagination. Avec un talent stup?fiant, Erin Bow cr?e le monde de Kate, une jeune fille dont le talent de sculptrice sur bois lui vaut une r?putation de sorci?re. L'intrigue fascinante et complexe explore courageusement les th?mes de la cruaut? et de l'amour. La prose est ? la fois lyrique et sans fard et ses personnages sont ind?l?biles. Ce livre sera lu par des g?n?rations ? venir. ? -Jury du prix TD ? Simplement Kate, le premier roman pour jeunes adultes d'Erin Bow fait preuve d'un talent artistique mature et obs?dant... L'intrigue se d?noue avec la rapidit? et l'insistance th trale d'un r?cit d'aventures, mais chaque ?v?nement a un s?rieux bien pes?. Un roman exceptionnel. ? -Revue litt?raire du New York Times ? Kate est une h?ro?ne brave et attachante. Dans ce monde imaginaire m?morable, Erin Bow ?voque de fa?on frappante un paysage d?tremp? et parsem? de bouleaux, de rivi?res gazouillantes et de vagabonds pittoresques. ? -The Toronto Star ? Magnifique et obs?dant, tragique et charmant, ce livre est tout ? la fois exquis et troublant... Avec une prose simple, mais ?vocatrice, Erin Bow recr?e un univers tr's complet dans lequel son histoire se d?noue d?licatement avec des accents de conte de f?es que les lecteurs garderont longtemps ? l'esprit. ? -Canadian Children's Book News Reviews "Plain Kate is a triumph of imagination. With astonishing skill, Erin Bow creates the world of Kate, whose talents as a wood carver mark her as a witch. The fascinating, intricate plot bravely explores the wrenching complexities of cruelty and of love. Bow's prose is at once lyrical and raw, and her characters are indelible. This is a book that will be read for generations." -TD Award Jury "Plain Kate, Bow's first young adult novel, demonstrate a mature, haunting artistry... The plot unfoldes with the swiftness and dramatic urgency of an adventure tale, yet each event has a measured gravity... An outstanding novel." -New York Times Book Review "Kate's a stalwart, engaging heroine, and Bow vividly evokes a soggy countryside of birch trees, babbling rivers, and colourful, travelling Roamers in this memorable fantasy." -The Toronto Star "Beautiful and haunting, tragic and lovely, this is a book that is exquisite as it is disquieting... In simple but evocative prose, Erin Bow creates a fully realized world in which her story delicately unfolds with a fairytale quality that will linger with readers." -Canadian Children's Book News
