Read Thomas, A Secret Life Storyline:
Life is not as good or easy as Thomas Pichon imagined as a 12-year old in early-18th-century Normandy. Inclined to poetry and religious/erotic imaginings, he is an office clerk, aspires to be a writer and is a part-time spy for the police. But his careers advance too slowly, and he takes comfort and release with prostitutes. A courtesan brings a new possibility and Thomas wants to have his cake and eat it too. Award-winning Canadian author A.J.B. Johnston has published more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles about 18th-century French colonial history in Acadia. A Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, Johnston applied his considerable sense of French history to imagine Thomas Pichon’s life. Johnston lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Historical, biographical fiction.Pages of Thomas, A Secret Life :
