Title: Miss person
Author: Marie-Christine Bernard
Genre: romance
Publisher: Hurtubise (Quebec)
Here a novel that gives us strong TM Bernard. With a little common language, true, dense, rich terms Quebec French. Good. It smells like soil, irrigated kelp life, earth, ocean, iodine, working people and good living.
was pleased to read such a novel built a very original way. Imagine a society
Gaspe, around the 1940s, strongly clamped in the ubiquitous Roman Catholic traditions.
history, exciting and very human after all, is growing and becoming clearer by the word of successive 4 main characters. Justin (O'Brien), a small Irish journalist who never leave Red Sable. Will (Mac Brearty), very lively one. Celeste, heroin. Emile, Celeste's lover and the Machiavellian mayor, all dead and talking! But fiction has the power to make the dead speak. There is also another character who perish at sea Lady Celeste, a ship, which the author speaks as a woman with the same words of love that we address in general to a beloved woman.
TM Bernard knows how to describe love as a person! It's beautiful and air. It is fleshy and sensual.
But this novel is also interesting in another respect. It promotes culture Native American (Mic-Mac) by drawing characters wise and generous while using words that stick to the Micmac story.
A beautiful novel.
Marie-Christine Bernard was born in 1966, she teaches Humanities at Alma College. She grew up on the shores of the Baie des Chaleurs, the venue of the novel.
