Michelle Butler Hallett. The time is 1937. The place: the Basque Country, embroiled in the Spanish Civil War. Polyglot and British intelligence agent Temerity West encounters Kostya Nikto, a Soviet secret police agent. Kostya has been dispatched to assassinate a doctor as part of the suppression of a rogue communist faction. When Kostya finds his victim in the company of Temerity, she expects Kostya to execute her -- instead, he spares her. Several weeks later, Temerity is reassigned to Moscow. When she is arrested by the secret police, she once again encounters Kostya. His judgement impaired by pain, morphine, and alcohol, he extricates her from a dangerous situation and takes her to his flat. In the morning, they both awaken to the realities of what Kostya has done. Although Kostya wants to keep Temerity safe, the cost will be high. And Temerity must decide where her loyalties lie. Writing about violence with an unusual grace, Michelle Butler Hallett tells a story of complicity, love, tyranny, and identity.

By Mélanie Fortin. 2018
Entassés les uns à côté des autres, la tête penchée pour brouter l'herbe au sol, les moutons du berger ressemblent…
à une véritable couverture de laine, qui comporte cependant un accroc. Une des bêtes, plutôt que de partager le festin de ses congénères, a la tête constamment relevée vers le ciel. Léonard a en effet envie de s'envoler vers des contrées lointaines et de faire des rencontres, l'idée de se voir tondu pour en faire des vêtements de toutes sortes lui donnant des cauchemars. Si tous les autres moutons se moquent de lui et de ses rêves de grandeur, il songe que son souhait est réalisable quand il voit une nuée de montgolfières voler au-dessus du champ. S'entraînant à courir et à monter dans les arbres, il compte bien mettre son plan à exécution, mais le reste du troupeau lui rappelle constamment qu'on n'a jamais vu un mouton dans un ballon.

with the hustle and bustle of preparation, a rabbit stitched of velveteen sits perched on top of the little boy’s stocking. Those first two hours are the best of the young rabbit’s life: filled with hugs and play. But like most children, the boy is fickle and easily distracted—after Christmas morning, the Velveteen Rabbit is forgotten. Shy and intimidated by the new mechanical toys who sneer at him for being simple, the sawdust-filled rabbit sits quietly at the top of the toy closet, aching to be loved the way he was that wonderful Christmas morning. He’s soon taken in by the wise old Skin Horse, who sets him straight on the way to become real. It’s not about expensive mechanisms or shiny paint jobs. No, becoming real is all about the unadulterated love of a child. The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless story about the importance of love, honesty, and friendship.
