“A standout read for me was The truth about light by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir. Parallel to the stories of her aunt, a midwife in the Icelandic countryside, a young woman undertakes a transformation that has resonated with me, as I reorient my career. In addition, the reflections on the care of midwives – they are the ones who welcome babies, who see the light for the first time – filled me with gratitude for the family doctor who thus gave birth to my three children. . I sent her the book by post, and she gave me an update. What happiness around this novel, read on vacation in the Parc du Bic. »

” An extraordinary woman by Catherine Ethier. I had as much fun reading his book as listening to his chronicles on the radio. We hear him tell us about the ups and downs of his characters’ lives with his usual verve. She takes a lucid and caustic look at those who apparently lead a dream life, but who in reality are fragile and vulnerable. Melancholy, but funny novel about loneliness, mental health, suicidal thoughts. It may seem heavy, but it’s all about finesse and lightness. »

“I loved reading the graphic novels and watching the series Heartstopping. I was very touched by the topics covered. The characters are super engaging. And then it feels so good to see people of sexual and gender diversity. »

“I want to make known a masterful work that has not yet received all the attention it deserves in Quebec: the excellent French comic strip An endless world, published by Dargaud. This is a popular science comic strip by cartoonist Christophe Blain and engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici which explains in a clear and concise manner the foundations of the climate and energy crisis. This document is essential to understand the limits of our model and encourage the adoption of a more resource-efficient lifestyle. In my opinion, this book should become compulsory reading for every citizen! »

“How I miss Serge Bouchard’s enveloping voice and reassuring wisdom! I read and I reread, silently or aloud, The Black Spruce Prayer imagining myself hearing it. »

“Mariana Mazza and her Montreal North I liked. She does everything and does it very well. Long live his pen. Stéphane Rousseau also wowed me with his autobiography, Royal family. Very entertaining. A good remedy for autumn dullness. »

“It was unfortunately after his death that I discovered François Blais. I only have Handout 1, but it was high time I started. It’s one of a kind, a real treat that I tasted slowly. »
