Trama
In rural Quebec during the 1830s and 1840s, Elisabeth d'Aulnières recounts her tumultuous life from her deathbed. The story begins with her first marriage to Antoine Tassy, a wealthy seigneur of Kamouraska. Despite their initial happiness, Antoine's mental instability and cruelty drive a wedge between them. Elisabeth finds solace in the arms of George Nelson, an American doctor who arrives in Kamouraska. Their affair intensifies as Antoine's behavior becomes increasingly erratic. In a fit of rage, Antoine attacks Elisabeth, nearly killing her. Seeking revenge, Elisabeth enlists the help of some villagers to murder Antoine. After his death, Elisabeth marries Jérôme, but she remains haunted by her past.
