![]() ![]() The spine is worn and faded but remains undamaged. ![]() There is a little writing in pencil but for the most part the interior is clean. Without a dust jacket, this copy has darkened a great deal and the cover is somewhat faded and soiled. Nevertheless the picture she paints clearly struck a chord with readers in both languages and around the world. Gabrielle Roy was actually from St-Boniface, the French quarter of Winnipeg, and went to live in Europe from there, but was forced to return to Canada in 1939 with the outbreak of World War II and it was then that she went to Montreal and devoted her time to writing and sketching. This is a copy of the first English language publication of three time Governor General award winner Gabrielle Roy's The Tin Flute/Bonheur d'Occasion, which is credited with reflecting a life of such overwhelming and endless poverty in the face of huge families and low wages that it provided an impetus for change in Quebec. ![]()
