This third novel bursts with life as Nana, the young city girl, explores the natural world and the enchanted forest of her inner, maturing self.

      2021., Talonbooks Call No: QWF Fic Tre    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: It's May 1922, and preparations are in full swing for the marriage of Nana and Gabriel, which will take place the following month. There's just one problem: Nana's wedding dress has yet to be bought. The mercurial Maria, torn between her desire to measure up as a mother and the inescapable constraints of her poverty, wonders how to pay for the wedding. And she's not the only one battling demons - the thought of the upcoming reunion unsettles every member of the large and dispersed Desrosiers family. While the wedding invitations announce a celebration, they also stir up old memories, past desires, and big regrets. The Grand Melee extends Michel Tremblay's beloved familial and historical saga, and bridges the Desrosiers Diaspora series and the now-classic Chronicles of the Plateau Mont-Royal.
