À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Semiautobiographical and universal in appeal, Street of Riches is about a young girl's growing up in a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Here is Christine, the perceptive narrator of The Road Past Altamont (also a Bison Book), awakening to natural and sometimes terrifying beauty, to family history, to the nuances of social life, to sexuality, to selfhood. A mother's romantic yearning for freedom, a father's roving career as an immigration officer, a beautiful sister's early demise, a host of other in very human situations-all contribute to the way Christine will view the world as a writer. Gabrielle Roy has been called the Canadian Willa Cather because of their affinity in style and theme. Street of Riches won both the Governor-General's Award for Fiction and the French Prix Duvernay.

Reviews
"The stories vary greatly in mood, in purpose, in length, but never in sensitivity. . . . Some are very amusing and most are touched with humor in delicate ways, but the tone of the whole is of sadness, of lost dreams, of adjusting illusions to life. . . . A lovely and appealing book, written with great skill."- Kirkus, "Miss Roy has applied her special gifts of memory and reflective wit to the French Canadian scene. Once again her sharp observation and way with words create and fix a reality informed by charm and meaning."-- Catholic World, "The stories vary greatly in mood, in purpose, in length, but never in sensitivity. . . .

They are a memorable pair, Maman and Papa, deeply seen and beautifully rendered. But indeed all of the persons of this book are rendered with a gentle, exact clarity."- New York Times, ""A book of sketches, brief personal essays, reminiscenes, and full stories, all beautifully composed as individual pieces and all coming together, in collective design, as a work of insight, awareness, and illumination. . . .
