By Guy Gavriel Kay. 1995
Au pays d’Arbonne le soleil mûrit les vignes et fait éclore les chansons des troubadours qui célèbrent l’amour courtois. Au…
Gorhaut, terre austère du Nord où l’on adore le dieu mâle Corannos, règne le brutal Adémar, sous l’influence du primat fanatique du clergé. « Jusqu’à ce que meure le soleil et que tombent les lunes, l’Arbonne et le Gorhaut ne vivront pas en harmonie côte à côte. » Gouvernée par une femme, minée par la rivalité sanglante de ses deux seigneurs les plus puissants, l’Arbonne n’est-elle pas une proie tentante pour une guerre de conquête et de croisade du Gorhaut, d’autant – ignominie ! – qu’on y vénère une déesse ? Mais c’est en Arbonne que Blaise du Gorhaut s’est engagé comme mercenaire au service d’un baronnet, après avoir fui son pays et son père. Qui est-il, ce Blaise du Nord, et quel destin l’attend qu’il ignore lui-même ? Seule le sait peut-être Béatrice, la grande prêtresse aveugle de Rian au hibou sur l’épaule. La Chanson d’Arbone est une fantasy magistrale et envoûtante dans un monde parallèle à la Provence médiévale. « Aussi passionnant qu’un frileur et tendre qu’une chanson d’amour, avec une toile de fond aussi brillante, authentique et colorée que la tapisserie de la Dame à la licorne. » Michael de Larrabeiti.The spire (Walsh #06)

and the love we let into our lives... Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn't on the list. However, she's a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story. Adopted at birth, with scant knowledge of her biological family, she's created her own inner circle, a motley crew which includes her bestie Willow, to help her run the struggling but charming Apple Ridge Farm. With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it's the best home she's ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes....and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets. Now Luna's carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she—along with some help from her friends—has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and familyLa plage des songes et autres récits d'exil
By Stanley Péan. 1998
Publiée initialement en 1988, La plage des songes révèle les fondations d’un univers sur lesquelles Stanley Péan a su construire…
une œuvre solide. Si l’écrivain a bien évidemment évolué au fil de ses trente-cinq ans d’écriture, soulignons qu’il écrivait déjà magnifiquement. Les protagonistes de ce recueil de nouvelles sont tour à tour happés par leurs souvenirs, idéalisés ou cauchemardesques, de cette Haïti qu’ils traînent dans leur exil, telle une carapace de tortue. Oscillant entre tendresse et humour noir, entre compassion et terreur, La plage des songes retrace les itinéraires singuliers de ces personnages livrés aux caprices de forces surnaturelles et nous fait découvrir un autre visage du Québec contemporain. Un livre fondateur pour l’écrivain aujourd’hui célébré.A la brunante
By 1844-1897 Faucher de Saint-Maurice. 1998
A la brunante rassemble probablement les plus belles pages qu'a écrites Faucher de Saint-Maurice (1844-1897). Sans conteste l'un des auteurs…
les plus prolifiques qu'a connu le Québec du XIXe siècle, Faucher de Saint-Maurice était un personnage haut en couleurs : tour à tour combattant au Mexique, prisonnier, condamné à mort, fonctionnaire, journaliste et député, il a longtemps milité, dans son coin d'Amérique, en faveur de la langue française est d'une littérature originale et différente de celle que l'on retrouve en France. Dans ses contes et ses récits, Faucher de Saint-Maurice atteint le sommet de son art. Ceux qui composent cet ouvrage mettent en scène des personnages qui sont tous plus étonnants les uns que les autres. Et chacune des histoires que nous raconte l'auteur renferme des surprises qui ne maquent jamais d'étonner les lecteurs qui les découvrent.Divine rivals: A novel (Letters of Enchantment #1)

royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom. Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland. But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous gossip columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family's secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible.
