Storyline
La troisième saison se passe principalement en Europe, de l’automne 1937 à 1939. En 1937, alors qu’elle traverse l’océan en 3e classe, pratiquement au fond de la cale d’un navire, Gabrielle Roy, même si elle ressent une sorte d’appel flou à l’écriture, débarque en France dans l’espoir de parfaire ses talents de comédienne. Or, la Ville lumière ne lui réussit pas. Gabrielle quitte précipitamment Paris pour Londres où elle rencontre l’amour, lorsque son regard croise celui du séduisant et mystérieux Stephen Davidovich, un Canadien d’origine ukrainienne. Un coup de foudre qui l’anéantira, mais qui fera d’elle une véritable autrice. Vingt mois après avoir quitté le Canada, à l’aube de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, alors que le conflit s’envenime en Europe, Gabrielle Roy revient au pays.

The third season takes place mainly in Europe, from autumn 1937 to 1939. In 1937, while crossing the ocean in 3rd class, Gabrielle Roy, arrived in France in hopes of perfecting her acting talents. But this city does not suit her as she quickly leaves Paris for London, where she finds her true love with the mysterious Stephen Davidovich. This was the love that destroys her, yet builds the author within her. Twenty months after leaving Canada, at the dawn of the Second World War, as the conflict in Europe escalates, Gabrielle Roy returns home.
