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 Jeannes
story. Her anguish the great beasts 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.
