Le bonheur rend
sourd
“Well done! This is a superb book. I
was stunned to find such maturity in the writer’s prose. This is a
first novel that promises a great future for the author. The story
left me moved, curious and entertained. How magnificent! I can’t
wait for the next one.”
Jocelyne
“This is such a well-written book, so
subtle, sensitive and imaginative. I loved the style. Nathalène is
the Ariane Moffat of literature: creative, surprising and funny.
[Hers is] a new style of writing that combines traditional French
literature with Québec’s imaginative and efficient simplicity. A
prose that is both rigourous and refreshing. Congratulations!
I started reading on my way out of the Salon du livre [Montreal’s
Book Fair], on the subway. I had reached the part with the lady in
the cemetary and the sausage, enjoying the sense of humour, when I
heard the subway voice call out: ‘Mont-Royal Station’. I had
forgotten to get out at Berri Station! I guess I can say that this
is one absorbing read!”
Hélène
“I am just finishing reading this novel
and I find it so engrossing and well-written. I can relate to a lot
of the main character Lucie’s problems and inner struggles. And your
style of writing is so imaginative. I love your book! Thank you for
writing it!”
Anne
“What a marvelous novel! Firstly, I
finally put my finger on what fascinated me so much in the author’s
prose: the constant use of personification. This fantastic way in
which Nathalène transforms objects and animals into touching
characters completely won me over. Lucie’s world captivates us even
more as this is a world where music, memories and reality come
together. I loved how Arsène Lutrin (great pun, by the way)
expressed himself and the character of Tonton really moved me.
In brief, this is an author I like very much.”
Marie-France
“I took great pleasure in reading this
novel which has many good qualities, the first of which is a sharp
sense of humour – a rare thing despite the omnipresence of all kinds
of so called ‘humorists’ in our society. Other qualities of this
novel: the quick style, its lively rhythm. All in all, I had a good
time [reading it].”
Jean-Pierre
“I liked Le bonheur rend sourd very
much. A truly beautiful little novel – little because of its size,
not its content. I found some passages very strong and moving.”
Pascal
“I liked it very much. When does the
next one come out?”
