Synopsis
Jacques Poulin's wonderful novel about a professional writer who composes and hand writes letters and documents for a living. He lives in the upper town of the old town of Quebec, in an apartment that shares a wall with Kim, a psychologist. The courtyard below Jacques' rooms is a home to Pretty Cat, who sleeps in the tree. The writer becomes involved with Kim when she reveals to him that she has been beaten — by a lover or a patient, he does not know.Reviews
"This is a gentle story, touched by tenderness and the small ironies that leaven all of our lives. The writing is elegant, and often wistful as it depicts an old man contemplating the end his life." — Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
