Sleepless Nights and Days of Glory

Hélène Rioux, Jonathan Kaplansky

"Tragedy at the End of the World restaurant. A little marriage fatigue, a cottage to sell and a woman in cashmere: suddenly twenty-seven years of conjugal life are swept away. Jean-Charles has left his wife. And with her goes the charm the restaurant possessed, where simple food was served to simple people. His new love interest insists on fancifying everything. Sleepless Nights and Days of Glory, the third volume in He le ne Rioux's Fragments of the World series, opens with the theme of abandonment and betrayal, and then takes the reader around the world: from Bulgaria (the Black Sea) to Italy and Spain, from the Bahamas and Palma de Mallorca to Mexico City, Paris and, of course, Montreal."--
