Book Description
“This volume contains four of the later novels from Anne Hébert’s 60-year career: the beautiful and tragic Burden of Dreams, winner of the Governor Generals Award for French fiction; Aurélien, Clara, Mademoiselle, and the English Lieutenant, a shimmering fable that captivates and dazzles with its simple beauty; Am I Disturbing You?, the raw and chaotic tale of a distraught young woman, nominated for Canada’s prestigious Giller Prize; and A Suit of Light, Héberts final novel, an exquisite story about the realization of one familys dangerous dreams. Each is translated by Canada’s preeminent translator of French fiction, Sheila Fischman, and an intimate portrait of the author by her friend Mavis Gallant
