Quand les guępes se taisent

Quand les guępes se taisent: nouvelles | Stéphanie Pelletier

pick

The stories in this collection bring to life contemporary Québécois women who live outside of main urban centres. Their connection to the land & rivers is evident, in the mud between their toes, & the soil beneath their fingernails. Several stories have more sex than I usually tolerate, but it‘s better in French, somehow. Except for the rhapsody about a lover‘s happy cock; I rolled my eyes & skipped that one. #CanadianAuthor #blameitonLitsy

â€śC‘est l‘printemps, y fait frette, y mouille pis j‘ai pas envie d‘aller à un ostie d‘enterrement!â€ť

The Québécois dialect in these stories is pleasing to my ear. Reminds me of my rural francophone childhood in Alberta.

tpixie It‘s Spring, it‘s cold it‘s wet, and I don‘t envy those who have to go to a funeral? 4y

Lovely moving read. Short stories relating the human condition in regards to unfaithfulness, death, love, the passage of time and the silence of all that is not said.
