"First published in 1946, this prize winning novel examines, with perception and empathy, the complex relationship within a close-knit Montreal family in the 1930s: Fran, a handsome, indomitable woman in her fifties; her mildly alcoholic brother Teddy and his precocious young daughter; Fran's two sons, Conrad, the ugly duckling, and David, the spoiled darling, and David's coldly exquisite wife Fay. When Abbey, the orphaned daughter of Fran's childhood friend, is welcomed into the circle, the fragile facade concealing long-buried fears and resentments is broken forever.

The Book of Eve

MCCLELLAND STEWART

<p>First published in 1973, The Book of Eve has become a classic. When Eva Carroll walks out on her husband of 40 years, it is an unplanned, completely spontaneous gesture. Yet Eva feels neither guilt nor remorse. Instead, she feels rejuvenated and blissfully free. As she builds a new life for herself in a boarding house on the "wrong" side of Montreal, she finds happiness and independence - and, when she least expects it, love.</p>
