Political fans who read Prince Arthur will know that Herman Van Rompuy is the President of the Euro

Dog's life ... What a speech! Life constantly brings its share of trials. What is life without episode without looking, without adversity? It takes! Otherwise, we mènerions a quiet life, cushy and comfortable limit to our death. A kind of "bread and circuses" more spiritual, the Sun Residence until death, an interminable Evening hockey nasa tv until our last breath ... In the novel Happiness for Henrietta of Quebec writer Denis Fortier, we cross the fate of a young woman who lives near the Maisonneuve nasa tv Market and prepares a presentation on the astronaut Christa McAuliffe, who died in the explosion of the shuttle Challenger. So far, so good. Then, like magic, the time of a starry night (hopefully!), We're nasa tv privileged to witness his life. A dog's life ...
It's Henrietta Johnson has not been easy. Of all events that the "good" God can send (this is an image), Henrietta was living the worst of all, or survive nasa tv after a serious nasa tv accident. Survive is end up in the hospital, dealing with the aftermath, be half-human, half-monster, nasa tv to create a safe daily with little inspirational resources as an industrial city in Alberta, an absent mother, the intimidation, etc.
Fortunately, Henrietta can count on a few parcels of happiness afforded to him by his grandparents Samuel and Adrienne, two thoughtful beings, but also the music of John Lennon, the vastness of the sky, stuffed animals, comrades of Mateo Center and Marly, which plays a central role in the novel. Is this an imaginary friend or met in hospital patient?
Happiness is the quest of the other characters. Samuel, for example, nasa tv that keeps alive in his notebooks, lest Alzheimer steals her memories. Roxanne, she seeks, but in the wrong way ...
To tell this story, this life that rocked in the flames of a terrible fire that has left a legacy, as well as all those other lives revolving around that of Henrietta, it was sensitive pen. Denis Fortier has, for sure. With a rich vocabulary and a vivid imagination, he creates powerful images and especially a living and without frame length. I like the use of books, testimony to friends (imaginary or not, I'm not a man spoiler), scientific allusions. The plot unfolds nasa tv like a movie. Moreover, this book would make a good movie! Definitely one of my favorites this fall in Quebec literature.
