The first-person narrators of An Enlightening Quiche are both verbally rambunctious, punning and playing on terms and themes, without a thought of pruning, across the flour-filled landscape of pastry (pastoral) delights of a French-Canadian town in Rhode Island. Lindsay Metcalfe, the historian-in-residence hailing from Boston, sets out to preserve the legacy of an impoverished mill and gets more than she bargains for all around.Īmidst the plot twists and turns, rub elbows with plain-spoken and unpretentious French-Canadians who call themselves "Canucks." Delving beneath the surface of fractured friendships, mother-daughter dysfunction, and romantic rifts:Īugusta Bergeron, the town siren who engages in morally destructive behavior for reasons of her own. Rife with secrets and scandals-misconceptions, misdeeds, and maliciousness wreak havoc on those caught in the crossfire of a tragedy precipitated by reckless behavior.
