I love the premise of this video. Some interesting sounding books I was not aware of.
Thanks so much Debra!
This is fantastic, thank you for putting this list together Camila!
You're very welcome! Do you have a favourite book set in Montreal? :)
@@hasteyebooks I can't say that I have a favourite but the two that come to mind are both written by anglos - Two Solitudes by Hugh MacLennan and The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz are both pretty great. I am going to add Kukum to my TBR - it sounds really good.
Wonderful recs and just in time for St. Jean 😊
Man is on my TBR, I saw it recommended to me on my library app (the app also highlights indigenous authors a lot which is great!).
Adding Bleuets & abricots to my list :)
Great video!
haha almost forgot about St-Jean!! Yes great timing 😅 I hop you enjoy Man or any Kim Thuy when you get to them, it's so good!
Tres Bon!!! So glad that you chimed in on this because I need to learn more about Quebec authors. Kim Thuy's writing is unlike any other. Crow Winter is sitting on my shelf. I didn't know that Karen McBride was from Quebec. I've read The Right To Be Cold, but I am saving that recommendation for the Territories. So many great recommendations. Merci Beaucoup, Camila. 😊💙
I'm glad you approve haha merci!
J’ai aussi La fiancée américaine dans ma pile depuis sa sortie… en grand format! Un peu intimidée aussi… 😅😂
haha oui je comprends! Ca fait des années que j'ai ma copie....filmé ce vidéo me rappelle que je devrais y retourner.... 😆
Allo allo! Merci! 💙 Michel Jean is my favorite author! 💙
Merci Julie!! Kukum c'est mon premier Michel Jean et j'aime beaucoup!
