Translation of: Âmes en peine au paradis perdu.
Translated by Jonathan Kaplansky.
The book "frames cab drivers, exotic dancers, revellers, mourners, and genious - from places like Montreal, New York, Corsica, Cabarete, and heaven itself - within the space of one solstice day. Using ardent, melodic prose, author Hélène Rioux pieces together their disparate livesto form mosaic of the human longing for a better existence." (from the inside jacket of the book)
