The tyranny Tom finds himself subject to at the farmhouse of Guilliame, the friend whose funeral he is attending, is the sort of tyranny of classic romantic literature - I thought of the terror Joss held over the 'Jamaica Inn' - and the Quebecois farm is wintery and isolated like the Jamaica Inn or like Manderley, and like 'Rebecca', Tom represents the new, a liberal young alternative urbanite who doesn't belong, and he little realises how completely his world will have to change - and how quickly - to maintain Guilliame's family's rigid, secretive, retentive rural conservatism.
