Anne Hébert: Collected Later Novels

by Anne Hébert, Sheila Fischman (Translator), Mavis Gallant (Introduction)

This attractive trade paperback collection of Anne Hébert's later novels includes some of the most accomplished and best loved fiction of her more than sixty-year career, and features an introduction by her dear friend and fellow acclaimed ex-pat writer, Mavis Gallant. This volume contains the beautiful and tragic Burden of Dreams, winner of the Governor General's 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 the Giller Prize; and A Suit of Light, Hébert's final novel about the realization of one family's dangerous dreams. A genuine Hébert treasure trove, Collected Later Novels celebrates one of Canada's most important writers.
