My October
My October | Claire Holden Rothman
6 posts | 2 to read
Luc Lvesque is a celebrated Quebec novelist and the anointed Voice of a Generation. In his hometown of Montreal, he is revered as much for his novels about the working-class neighbourhood of Saint-Henri as for his separatist views. But this is 2001. The dreams of a new nation are dying, and Luc himself is increasingly dissatisfied with his life. Hannah is Lucs wife. She is also the daughter of a man who served as a special prosecutor during the October Crisis. For years, Hannah has worked faithfully as Lucs English translator. She has also spent her adult life distancing herself from her English- speaking family. But at what cost? Hugo is their troubled fourteen-year-old son. Living in the shadow of a larger-than-life father, Hugo is struggling with his own identity. In confusion and anger, he commits a reckless act that puts everyone around him on a collision course with the past. Weaving together three unique voices, My October is a masterful tale of a modern family torn apart by the power of language and the weight of history. Spare and insightful, Claire Holden Rothmans new novel explores the fascinating and sometimes shocking consequences of words left unsaid.

October Wrap Up. I don't think I could pick my least/most favorite because they were all enjoyable (well as much as a book about a serial killer can be).
