Jacques Poulin's Volkswagen Blues and Le Premier Jardin by Anne Hébert, two novels published in Quebec in the 1980s, assimilate the representation of Nouvelle France to the experience of family ties. The authors first focus attention on the matter of origins, then consider the issue of destiny, both of the individual and of Quebec.
