This selection of writings by twenty-nine women, known and unknown, professional and amateur, presents a unique portrait of Canada through time and space, from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries, from the Maritimes to British Columbia and the Far North. There is a range of voices from high-born wives of governors general, to an Icelandic immigrant and a fisherman’s wife in Labrador. A Loyalist wife and mother describes the first hard weather in New Brunswick, a seasick nun tells of a dangerous voyage out from France, a famous children’s writer writes home about the fun of canoeing, and a German general’s wife describes habitant customs. All demonstrate how women’s experiences not only shared, but helped shape this new country.
Montreali deemonid

Год издания:
Adam Cruz on pidevalt seksile motlev toonarkomaanist ajakirjanik, kes on aina kusagil ule ilma komandeeringus. „Voimetuna midagi tundma,“ uritab ta end ravida juhusuhete, antidepressantide ja moistatuslike sodilaksudega. Ta saabub tahtsale geneetikakonverentsile Montreali, kus temaga hakkavad toimuma kummalised lood. Koigepealt saab ta ravim otsa ning tal ei onnestu uue retsepti saamiseks oma terapeudi doktor Di Dioga uhendust votta. Seejarel saab ta teada, et tema endine kallim on arvatavasti sooritanud enesetapu. Lisaks painab Adamit perekonnalegend vaarisast, kes nagi uhes Montreali kirikus imet ja leidis Jumala, ning ta motiskleb, kas ehk seesama ime voiks juhtuda ka temaga, kui ta leiaks ules sama kiriku. „Montreali deemonid“ on uhtaegu pihtimusromaan ja selle satiir. Teos ammutab inspiratsiooni Jack Kerouaci spontaansest proosast, Henry Milleri tahumatust aususest, Paulo Coelho mustikast ja Haruki Murakami surrealistlikust huumorist.
