Fiction. Translated from the French by Eugene Vance. In a large, isolated house near modern Quebec, eight childhood friends gather to reminisce about their early years in the 1950s. Denyse Delcourt's beautiful novel, translated from the Quebecois French, reveals a childhood murder and almost stifled memories of Gabrielle. Denyse Delcourt has taught at the University of Washington since 1990. As an academic, she is a medievalist and is currently working on her second novel. Her other teaching interests include Old French language and literature, contemporary Quebecois literature, and French fairy tales.
