verse expresses his love for Kamouraska ("Sous l'œil de Dieu, près du fleuve géant, Le Canadien grandit en espérant"). Representation in other media Louis-Pascal-Achille Taché (1813-1839), seigneur of Kamouraska since 1833, was married to Joséphine- Éléonore d’Estimauville. In 1839 she took her children to her mother in Sorel, to leave her abusive husband. Taché was said to be killed by George Holmes, an American doctor from Sorel who was thought to be a lover of his wife. Holmes fled to the United States before the 1839 trial. Tache's wife was acquitted of complicity at the murder trial. Canadian author Anne Hébert wrote a novel based on these events, Kamouraska (1970). Published in French, it was translated into several languages. It was adapted as a 1973 film of the same name, directed by Claude Jutra and with a screenplay written by him and Hebert. It won four Canadian film awards, including Best Actress for star Geneviève Bujold.
