Dominique Fortier, Montreal, Du bon usage des étoiles.
(Éditions Alto; distributed by Socadis) (ISBN 978-2-923550-15-2)
The author succeeds in taking a fresh approach to a familiar subject: Franklin's Arctic expedition. Her point of view is surprising and refreshing, and her language is limpid, subtle and highly readable. This is not just historical fiction but a novel in its own right, and one that will be remembered.
