veuve éployée, les retraités, les pauvres vieilles filles, l’idiot exploité et ridiculisé, le fainéant, le menuisier, le commerçant, le cordonnier, le préposé à la voirie municipale, l’artiste, le don juan raté pourtant gratifié d’un don spécial, la femme adultère… L’auteur s’amuse à décrire, sans folklore, des situations de tous les jours : la rentrée scolaire, la prédication du curé, la partie de cartes, la distribution du courrier à la campagne, le mariage et le voyage de noces à la ville où l’on s’ennuie, ou encore l’encan ou la veillée funèbre. Publié en 1966, Cœur de sucre a marqué l’entrée de Madeleine Ferron dans la littérature québécoise.

On Valentine's Day, two major earthquakes strike San Francisco within the same hour, devastating the city and its primary entry points, sparking fires throughout, and leaving its residents without power, gas, or water. Among the disparate survivors whose fates will become intertwined are Max, a man who began the day with birthday celebrations tinged with regret; Vashti, a young woman who has already buried three of the people she loved most. but cannot forgot Max, the one man who got away; and Gene, a Stanford geologist who knows far too much about the terrifying earthquakes that have damaged this beautiful city and irrevocably changed the course of their lives. As day turns to night and fires burn across the city, Max and Vashti--trapped beneath the rubble of the collapsed Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium--must confront each other and face the truth about their past, while Gene embarks on a frantic search through the realization of his worst nightmares to find his way back to his ailing lover and their home"-- Provided by publisher

One of SLATE Magazine's 15 Best Literary Rediscoveries of 2024A captivating collection unveiling the intricacies of love, life, and legacyThese…
twelve stories, told from the viewpoint of young women in life’s mid-passage, explore the splendors and miseries of love, both carnal and spiritual, and cast back through sickness and health to the engraving experiences of childhood and forward to the rituals and release of death and its occasion for recall.They tell us of a dutiful but not guiltless daughter faced with the wreckage a father has made of his life, of the pain of trying to steer steadily through a doomed affair with a dearly loved married man, and of the ironies attending the funeral of a priest uncle and the birthday of an aged mother.From the outwardly unremarkable frame of a single day—on Fire Island or in New York—an entire life and an encompassment of humanity are movingly conveyed. Then, with inverted telescope, the most subjective of inner realms is explored—through a hospital stay, a sudden name change, or the surprising end of all those dreaded piano lessons.Taken together, these stories are a far greater whole than the sum of their remarkable parts, an unforgettable exploration of the paradoxical toughness and vulnerability that define the mortal condition.
