La Grande Rivi�re _ le fleuve Saint-Laurent _ coulait d�j� dans les r�ves adolescents de Michel Jamonneau, meunier � La B�ch�e, paroisse d'Aug�, en Poitou. La mort d'un ami et les dures n�cessit�s de la vie quotidienne dans la France rurale du XVII^e si�cle ont bris� pour Michel les esp�rances de ses quinze ans: il doit rester aupr�s des siens.

Mais, un matin d'avril 1687, un soldat des Compagnies franches de la Marine embarque sur le vaisseau l'Arc-en-Ciel, � destination du Canada: Michel Jamonneau, dit " Lalibert� ". Un homme de vingt-neuf ans, dans l'obligation de fuir l'intol�rance du temps...

" Lalibert� ": le beau surnom sert de fil conducteur � cette histoire, du Poitou � la Nouvelle-France, du minuscule ruisseau de Cathelogne au flot puissant de la Grande Rivi�re.

Sur la trame pr�cise de documents fournis par la descendante de son h�ros, Michelle Cl�ment-Mainard a �crit un roman g�n�reux, dans cette langue toujours jeune et vivante au Qu�bec: la langue drue de nos provinces.

Michelle Cl�ment-Mainard a pass� toute sa jeunesse � Azay-le-Br�l�, dans les Deux-S�vres. Depuis 1981, elle est revenue y vivre apr�s une carri�re d'institutrice en Vend�e et a �crit quatre romans qui ont connu un grand succ�s: La Fourche � loup, La Foire aux mules, Les Sabots de la libert�, L'Empreinte des sabots.
