About the Book

See below for English description.

Le père et le frère de Suzanne Merritt sont au front lorsque la guerre éclate, en 1812, entre les forces britanniques et américaines. Pendant ce temps, dans le Haut-Canada, Suzanne, sa soeur et sa mère tentent d'assurer leur propre survie. Elles vivent dans l'attente de nouvelles des batailles et s'inquiètent du sort des hommes qu'elles aiment. Suzanne se sent déchirée: son père et son frère ont prêté serment d'allégeance à la couronne britannique, mais sa mère et sa meilleure amie sont toutes deux américaines. Toutefois, la veille de la bataille de Queenston Heights, la survie est l'unique préoccupation de la jeune fille.

In the summer of 1812, as rumours of a looming war become reality, Susanna, her mother and her sister are surviving as best they can while the men are fighting. As news of various battles reach them, Susanna becomes even more concerned for the safety and well-being of her beloved brother and father. She is torn between the loyalties of her best friend and her mother, who are both Americans living in Upper Canada, and her father's and brother's allegiance to General Brock and the King. But on on the night of the Battle of Queenston Heights, Susanna's main concern is for survival.

Original title: Dear Canada: Whispers of War


About the Author:

Kit Pearson est native d'Edmonton, en Alberta. Enfant timide et plut't solitaire, elle trouvait refuge dans les livres et cette passion ne l'a jamais quitt?e. Longtemps apr's ses ?tudes en litt?rature anglaise, elle est retourn?e ? l'universit? pour ?tudier la biblioth?conomie. Elle a ensuite travaill? comme biblioth?caire ? St Catharines, en Ontario, puis ? la biblioth?que publique de North York, ? Toronto. ? l'?poque, outre son journal intime, Kit n'avait encore rien ?crit. Cependant, plus elle travaillait dans le monde de la litt?rature jeunesse, plus elle avait envie de devenir ?crivaine. Apr's une ann?e et demie d'?tudes ? Boston (Simmons College Center for the Study of Children's Literature), elle est rentr?e au pays, ? Vancouver. Apr's avoir trouv? un travail de biblioth?caire ? temps partiel, elle s'est lanc?e dans la r?daction de son premier roman, qu'elle a publi? chez Penguin Books Canada. Et on conna't la suite. Au cours des 20 derni?res ann?es, Kit a remport? de nombreuses r?compenses pour ses ouvres, dont le prix Geoffrey Bilson (romans historiques pour les jeunes), le prix du Gouverneur g?n?ral et le prix Ruth & Sylvia Schwartz. Deux de ses livres ont aussi remport? le titre de ? livre de l'ann?e ?, une r?compense d?cern?e par l'Association canadienne des biblioth?ques (ACB).

L'h?ro?ne de son roman, Un vent de guerre, est inspir?e de son arri?re-arri?re-arri?re-grand-m?re, Susan Merritt. Une vieille histoire de famille raconte que c'est Susan qui aurait boucl? l'?p?e du g?n?ral Brock juste avant la Bataille de Queenston Heights. Kit vit de sa plume ? Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique.


Kit Pearson is one of Canada's best-loved historical writers. She's the award-winning author of The Daring Game, the acclaimed Guests of War series: The Sky Is Falling, Looking at the Moon and The Lights Go on Again, as well as Awake and Dreaming, and editor of This Land: A Cross-Country Anthology of Canadian Fiction for Young Readers. Kit has won numerous awards for her writing. She has twice been a winner of the CLA Book of the Year for Children Award and the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction. She has also won the Governor General's Literary Award, the Mr. Christie's Book Award and the Ruth Schwartz Award. She is a former librarian, and one of Canada's foremost writers for young people.

The main character in Whispers of War was based on Kit's great-great-great grandmother, Susan Merritt. Family legend says that she was the one who buckled on General Brock's sword for luck just before the fateful Battle of Queenston Heights. Her newest novel is The Whole Truth. Kit lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
