La traversée de la ville
Octobre 1912, à peine arrivée à Montréal depuis le Rhode Island, Maria Desrosiers a l'intention de faire venir de l'Ouest sa fille Nana pour l'aider à prendre soin d'un bébé qui naîtra bientôt. Août 1914, un an après avoir traversé le continent canadien pour rejoindre sa mère, Nana frémit en entendant les rumeurs de la guerre : comment pourrait-elle retrouver son paradis perdu, ses plaines de la Saskatchewan? A deux ans d'intervalle, mère et fille deviennent des fugueuses et parcourent un jour la même rue Sainte-Catherine, ces Champs-Elysées de Montréal, pour tenter de rattraper leurs vies en déroute. Emportées par la nostalgie des lieux qu'elles ont quittés, elles espèrent recoller les morceaux de leurs rêves, brisés comme une tirelire par le marteau du destin. Traversant ainsi la ville dans un chassé-croisé fébrile, elles sentent bouillonner fort en elles la maladie des Desrosiers : changer le mal de place en pensant que le bonheur se trouve ailleurs ...
Diane Cilento: My Nine Lives
Feisty, uncompromising and free-spirited, Diane Cilento won international acclaim as an actress during the 1950s and 1960s. She was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the seductive Molly in Tom Jones in 1963, around which time she also gained celebrity status as the wife of Sean Connery, then becoming famous as the iconic James Bond. But these are only a few of the parts Diane has played. The twists and turns of her extraordinary life took her from a privileged childhood in Queensland, Australia, to Broadway, then to London in the Swinging Sixties. In this candid memoir Diane revisits her rich but rebellious youth, an impetuous elopement at the age of twenty-three, and her work with some of the biggest stars of stage and screen. She also shares her ongoing search for self-expression and spiritual fulfilment. Having turned her back on stardom in the 1980s, she moved to Far North Queensland, where she built and still runs Karnak Playhouse, a unique centre for the arts.
