pickMarie is a young woman who loves horses and brings her idealism into the lives of carriage horses and their drivers in contemporary Old Montreal. A short, sharp novella that encompasses the criminal underworld and the dark side of gentrification. Translation from French by Sheila Fischman. #CanadianAuthor #WomenInTranslation
The return of the horse to Marie‘s life & the events of the past few days have stirred up memories, painful & ecstatic, against which she has begun to retaliate by the compulsive purchase of horse figurines—her favourite being a plastic Percheron. These past days Marie has travelled across the city & bought all the trinkets that have caught her eye, from antique dealers on rue Notre-Dame & from Dollarama.
pickOh my heart and my nerves!!! 😭
Tell you what, for a little book this packs quite the punch.
Also....I think I just realized the cover art is part of a horse....how did I miss that? 😂

It doesn‘t feel like I read much this month...
pickWow.
I loved this book. From the opening line I was hooked. The writing is gorgeous and the story is unique and the horses... 😍 @tournevis I need more (translated) suggestions. #moosemoose
Also, my reading life now seems to be all about Westerns, a genre I really haven‘t ever read before.
The goodies have arrived (late last week). Excited to read this novel and get a new understanding of my own country. #moosemoose
pickI love it when your book club pick isn‘t just something you wouldn‘t normally read but a book you‘d never heard of before. Poitras‘ Griffintown is @tournevis pick for #moosemoose At first glance it‘s a slight book - barely 160 pages - and yet this portrait of a dying way of life begs to be read slowly. The photo is my wish for Marie. ✨🐴
1 The full list is pictured. I try and keep to 8 books at once and sometimes slip a little #sorrynotsorry 2. I kind of want all the books I do not own especially: Meg by Steve Alten, the Women‘s Prize shortlist, and the new Kit de Waal 3. Horror 4. Books! Bookmarks! I have seven Funkos. Is that enough to call a collection? 5. @MPick @dixi_e #latenightthoughtswithMisty
This Saturday morning is for #moosemoose @dixi_e @FantasyChick @tournevis
