When I chose to read my biography about Samuel de Champlain I was not too enthused. I didn’t have high expectations and thought it would be dull‚ but little did I know that I would thoroughly enjoy reading this book.

It was certainly a surprise for me when Samuel talked about his homophobic issues‚
