The Woman Who Walks on Glass
| Reviews: |
| "Christiane
Frenette has a unique voice, like that of a young girl in her novel
who holds tightly in the palm of her hand a letter that is a grenade
on the point of exploding." — Elle Québec "A delicate theme, difficult and risky, that in this author's hands results in a novel marked by violence in many forms and by many forms of pleasure — a living, screaming picture in which the slightest emotional nuance finds expression." — La Presse |
