  During the night of April 10, 1734, Montreal burned. Marie-Joseph Angelique, a 29-year-old slave, was arrested, and found guilty of starting the blaze that consumed 46 buildings. Suspecting that she had not acted alone, Angelique's condemners tortured her after the trial. This work tells the story of Marie-Joseph Angelique.
