2007., Hurtubise HMH Call No: FR Fic Dav Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Amours interdites Volume: tome IIISummary Note: Le printemps 1967 s'annonce et avec lui souffle un vent nouveau qui fera virevolter le destin de plusieurs des habitants de Saint-Jacques-de-la-Rive. L'heure est au bouleversement des mœurs et des valeurs. Ce que l'on nommera plus tard la Révolution tranquille s'est bel et bien installée, malgré les répliques acerbes du curé Savard, à qui Étienne Fournier et les autres membres de la fabrique répondront sur le même ton. Le maire, Côme Crevier, ne sera pas en reste, incarnant dorénavant l'autorité dans son village. Alors que tous les regards sont fixés sur Montréal et son exposition universelle, les jeunes adultes des familles Veilleux, Fournier, Hamel et Tremblay sont appelés à faire des choix. Bataille de coq, déception amoureuse, emplois prometteurs, grossesse honteuse, promesse de mariage, émancipation, perte d'enfant, tous sont emportés par le tourbillon de la vie. Nostalgiques devant tous ces changements, la génération de leurs parents se réfugie dans les souvenirs. Étrangement, la relation chaotique qu'entretiennent Bertrand Tremblay et d'André Veilleux leur rappelle celle, aussi houleuse, de leurs grands-pères Eugène et Ernest.

2004., Leméac Call No: QWF FR Fic Lei Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Linda Leith's memoir, Marrying Hungary, is the moving story of the daughter of Irish Communist parents who, after a peripatetic childhood, falls in love and marries a Hungarian refugee. It is a glimpse into a life spent among foreigners, a tale of identity and eventual independence. And it reveals what few memoirs reveal: what brings a couple together, what marriage means to an ambitious and accomplished woman, and why sometimes even a good marriage eventually fails.

Ã2018., Harper Call No: Fic Goo Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In 1950s Quebec, French and English tolerate each other with precarious civility--much like Maggie Hughes' parents. Maggie's English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter that don't include marriage to the poor French boy the next farm over. But Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel Phoenix. When she becomes pregnant at fifteen, her parents send the baby Elodie to an orphanage where she receives horrible treatment. Seventeen years later, Maggie, married to a businessman eager to start a family, cannot forget the daughter she was forced to abandon, and a chance reconnection with Gabriel spurs a wrenching choice. As time passes, the stories of Maggie and Elodie intertwine but never touch, until Maggie realizes she must take what she wants from life and go in search of her long-lost daughter, finally reclaiming the truth that has been denied them both.

[2017]., Adult, Other Press Call No: 843.709 M952p Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "With the wit and penetration well known to readers of Balzac's Omelette and Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein revisits the delights of the French novel. This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers - Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant - through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cezanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire"--Provided by publisher.

2014., BookThug Call No: QWF Fic Lav Edition: First English edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: From multidisciplinary artist Bertrand Laverdure comes UNIVERSAL BUREAU OF COPYRIGHTS, a bold, strange, and addictive story that envisions a world where free will doesn't exist, and an unnameable global corporation buys and sells the copyrights for all things that exist on the earth, including real and fictional characters. Part narrative-poetry, part sci-fi-dystopian fantasy, readers become acquainted with the main character, a man who deconstructs himself as he navigates the mystifying passages of the story. Having no control over his environment, time continuum, or body, he is a puppet on strings, an icon in a video game and, as he eventually discovers with the bowels of the UNIVERSAL BUREAU OF COPYRIGHTS, the object of countless copyrights. With touches of Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions and Sterne's Tristram Shandy, Universal Bureau of Copyrights packs a multitude of modern cultural references into an audacious exploration of identity and one's place in the world.
