The Whole Night Through
by Christiane Frenette
Translated by Sheila Fischman
 

The lessons of longing, learned by Jeanne through her unexplored love of Marianne, equip her with the compassion necessary to light her path towards greater fulfillment.


"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

Review:
“Frenette ... has a deft narrative touch. She intercuts vivid observations of the gathering night — long shadows, dry yellow grass, the wind in the trees — with the slow unfolding of Jeanne’s story. Her anguish the great beast’s proud death, the silence of the forest, the moral ambiguities of rage, love, and forgiveness: Frenette creates a world that haunts us from the beginning.”
— Quill & Quire
