Dans le quartier montréalais de Saint-Henri, au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un peuple d''ouvriers et de chômeurs canadiens-français est désespérément en quête de bonheur. Florentine Laçasse croit trouver le sien dans l''amour ; sa mère, Rose-Anna, le cherche dans le bien-être de sa famille, pendant qu''Azarius, le père, fuit dans le rêve ; Emmanuel Létourneau s''enrôle; Jean Lévesque entreprend son ascension sociale. Chacun, à sa manière, invente sa propre voie de salut et chacun, à sa manière, échoue; mais tous auront connu l''aventure de vivre. Dans un monde tourmenté par la guerre et par les bouleversements sociaux et économiques, leur sort est en même temps celui de millions d''autres, à Montréal comme partout ailleurs.Publié à Montréal en 1945, ce roman, le premier de Gabrielle Roy, a reçu à Paris le prix Femina 1947, après avoir été choisi Book of the Month par la Literary Guild of America.
