Kate Cayley's new young adult novel, The Hangman in the Mirror (Annick Press), revolves around a dire decree “Françoise Laurent, you are hereby sentenced to death by hanging, which sentence to be carried out in the month of December, in the city of Montreal, in the year of our Lord 1751. May God have mercy upon your soul.” But all Françoise wanted when she stole her lady’s gloves was to have something of her own, to relieve her desparate poverty. But now there is only one thing that can save her: a woman may be spared the gallows if she marries the hangman. Is she cunning enough to escape certain death? Find out more about this fascinating tale based on a true event in the colony of New France. For more about the book, visit www.annickpress.com.
