Our Lady of Mile End is a neighbourhood of stories where recurring characters face personal challenges and unexpected intimacies against a backdrop of renoviction threats and walking tours. The overlapping lives (of girls and women, tenants and landlords, neighbours and strangers, the old generation and the next) chart the tensions and affections among people living in a community that has turned into a destination.

Gilbert has crafted a collection of stories that feels alive with the deep, genuine humanity of the residents of Mile End, Montreal. The working class, artistic, and intellectual residents face a changing neighborhood and a changing world as the highs and lows of everyday life clash with gentrification and the pandemic.

I loved dipping in and out of this collection over the last couple of weeks. Gilbert has a gift for realism.

Visiting the residents of the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal - so far this short story collection is really good.

Also in a pool somewhere outside of Wilmington, Delaware with The Most. I started early this morning and can't put it down!
