Summary: "In the Village of Viger" by Duncan Campbell Scott is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The narrative captures the essence of a small village in Canada as it faces the encroaching influences of urbanization, showcasing the characters who inhabit this tranquil yet changing environment. Central to the collection are various characters including Mademoiselle Viau, the enigmatic milliner, and Louis Bois, an old soldier, each revealing different facets of life in Viger. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the village of Viger, where change looms on the horizon but hasn't yet fully arrived. The narrative establishes a sense of nostalgia, detailing the village's scenic beauty and the quaint lives of its inhabitants. Mademoiselle Viau becomes a focal point as she opens a millinery shop, stirring curiosity and competition among the locals, particularly from Madame Laroque, who fears losing her status in the community. As the stories unfold, the themes of secrecy, aspiration, and the impact of modernization on traditional life begin to emerge, setting the stage for deeper explorations of these characters and their intertwined fates.
