Publiée initialement en 1988, La plage des songes révèle les fondations d’un univers sur lesquelles Stanley Péan a su construire…
une œuvre solide. Si l’écrivain a bien évidemment évolué au fil de ses trente-cinq ans d’écriture, soulignons qu’il écrivait déjà magnifiquement. Les protagonistes de ce recueil de nouvelles sont tour à tour happés par leurs souvenirs, idéalisés ou cauchemardesques, de cette Haïti qu’ils traînent dans leur exil, telle une carapace de tortue. Oscillant entre tendresse et humour noir, entre compassion et terreur, La plage des songes retrace les itinéraires singuliers de ces personnages livrés aux caprices de forces surnaturelles et nous fait découvrir un autre visage du Québec contemporain. Un livre fondateur pour l’écrivain aujourd’hui célébré.A la brunante
Par 1844-1897 Faucher de Saint-Maurice. 1998
A la brunante rassemble probablement les plus belles pages qu'a écrites Faucher de Saint-Maurice (1844-1897). Sans conteste l'un des auteurs…
les plus prolifiques qu'a connu le Québec du XIXe siècle, Faucher de Saint-Maurice était un personnage haut en couleurs : tour à tour combattant au Mexique, prisonnier, condamné à mort, fonctionnaire, journaliste et député, il a longtemps milité, dans son coin d'Amérique, en faveur de la langue française est d'une littérature originale et différente de celle que l'on retrouve en France. Dans ses contes et ses récits, Faucher de Saint-Maurice atteint le sommet de son art. Ceux qui composent cet ouvrage mettent en scène des personnages qui sont tous plus étonnants les uns que les autres. Et chacune des histoires que nous raconte l'auteur renferme des surprises qui ne maquent jamais d'étonner les lecteurs qui les découvrent.Divine rivals: A novel (Letters of Enchantment #1)

Par Arushi Avachat. 2024
Save the Date meets Never Have I Ever in this sparkling debut rom-com about a high school senior whose life…
suddenly gets a Bollywood spin when her sister gets engaged. Shaadi preparations are in full swing, which means lehenga shopping, taste testing, dance rehearsals, and best of all, Arya's sister Alina is home. The Khannas are together again, finally, and Arya wants to enjoy it. So she stifles her lingering resentment towards Alina, plays mediator during her sister's fights with their mother, and welcomes her future brother-in-law with open arms. (Okay, maybe enjoy isn't exactly right.) Meanwhile at school, Arya's senior year dreams are unraveling. In between class and her part-time gig as a bookshop assistant, Arya struggles to navigate the aftermath of a bad breakup between her two best friends and a tense student council partnership with her rival, the frustratingly attractive Dean Merriweather. Arya is determined to keep the peace at home and at school, but this shaadi season teaches Arya new realities: Alina won't always be in the bedroom down the hall, Mamma's sadness isn't mendable, friendships must evolve, and life doesn't always work out like her beloved Bollywood movies. But sometimes, the person you least expect will give you a glimpse of your dream sequence just when you need it most. Structured like a Bollywood film (entertaining intermission included!) Arya Khanna's Bollywood Moment will make you swoon, laugh, cry, think, nod your head in agreement, and quite possibly make you get up and dance.

royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom. Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland. But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous gossip columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family's secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible. Transporting listeners to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.

born", weaving together fiction, biography, and memoir to distill a stirring novel of loss and unshakeable love. A critical sensation in France, The Ghetto Within is its author's personal attempt to confront his grandfather's silence. Passed down, from generation to generation, the silence of Amigorena's grandfather became his own. A gripping study of inheritance,The Ghetto Within re-imagines the life of this Jewish grandfather, a Polish exile in Argentina, whose guilt provokes an enduring silence to span generations. 1928. Vicente Rosenberg is one of countless European émigrés making a new life for themselves in Argentina. It is here, along the bustling avenues of Buenos Aires, that he will meet and marry Rosita, whose ties to his native Poland are more ancestral than extant. They will have three children and pursue a quiet, comfortable domestic life. Vicente will start a profitable business and, on occasion, look back. Still, despite success, he will ache for his mother, Gustawa, who stayed behind in Warsaw with his siblings. For years, she writes him several times a month. Yet, as rumors mount from abroad, Vicente is given pause. The war in Europe feels so remote. Over time, his mother's letters become increasingly sporadic and Vicente, through delayed missives and late transmissions, begins to construct the reality of a tragedy that has already occurred. And one day, the letters stop altogether. Racked with guilt and anxiety over the fate of his mother and family, he lapses into a deep despair and longstanding silence. With his new novel, Amigorena employs language to reclaim his "voice" from the oblivion of familial trauma. An effort to understand the ways in which his grandfather's silence continues to affect the generations that followed,The Ghetto Within is a powerful new addition to Holocaust canon, a stunning introduction of an essential new voice to English readers.

genius Dr. Meg Brightwood has just completed her life's work—a proof of a problem so impenetrable it's nicknamed the Impossible Theorem. Reclusive and burdened by anxiety, Meg has long since been dismissed by academia. Now everyone wants to get their hands on what she alone possesses—especially her own mathematician father. Having grown up a prodigy in a field plagued by sexism and plagiarism, Meg opts for a public presentation so there will be no doubt of her authorship. But a panic attack obliterates her plans. In defeat, she goes home and locks away the one and only manuscript of her proof. Then chance sends her the unlikeliest of allies: Isaac Wells—carpenter, high school dropout, in trouble with the law. And the one love of Meg's life. Fifteen years ago, they did little more than hold hands. Now, they find a tenuous space where they can love and be loved for who they are—not who the world expects them to be. But when Meg goes to retrieve the Impossible Theorem, she finds it missing. Her fight for the achievement of the century will test the limits of her brilliance and the endurance of two vulnerable hearts. " Beguiling ."—Publishers Weekly " Poignant and compelling ...
