Doctoral student in letters at UQTR, lecturer in literary creation and craftswoman at the magazine THE Port, Anne-Marie Duquette certainly has a busy schedule. Which would explain why nearly fifteen years have passed since the release of his first novel, Offbeat (GGC, 2009). Dense and atmospheric polyphonic novel, Wildflowers are only wild in name has as its central figure Gamin, a neuroatypical boy initiated into the art of vegetable dyeing by his mother.
