1953: Chronicle of a Birth Foretold

By France Daigle

France Daigle casts a droll eye on what it means to be born a writer in the middle of the twentieth century. 1953 crackles with wit, intelligence, and insight, and the year in question emerges as a turning point not only for the heroine, but also for the entire world.

Customer Reviews

Acadian literature

This is a great post-modernist novel by one of the most outstanding Acadian (French-Canadian) authors. The translation is well-done. I hope to see more from Daigle soon!
