Beschreibung

St. Brigide might be a small point on the Quebec map, but it is rich in its ancestry of various ethnic groups, the Irish being amongst the first Brigidians. The reader is introduced to such a family: the McNulty clan who emigrated to French Canada to escape British oppression and to be free to practice their Catholic religion. This story underlines the lives of four women who defeated all odds to survive, thus insuring their descendant’s chance of a more clement world. The other side of the coin is the facility by which the Irish demonstrated assimilation. All of this is portrayed in a colorful text which makes readers feel as if they were part of an extended family. Indeed if they pause for a moment, many characters will step out of the shadows to call our names and to repeat the sweetness of their sounds. As it is written in the novel, “Life for the Ludger family was so full, so saturated with joy and dreams; they thought themselves the most blessed citizens of this earth”. Welcome to a reading adventure, a pilgrimage to the past: yours and mine. - Therese Bonvouloir Bayol

    "The Greek Interpreter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.

    Our agreement was strictly professional…until it wasn’t. 
    As an escort to the ultra-rich, I knew my place in the world. I’d mastered the art of blending in and keeping my true self—and my desires—hidden. When billionaire Eric Maxim hired me to be his date to an exclusive art show, I expected another impersonal arrangement. But Eric, with his piercing blue eyes and arrogant charm, was anything but ordinary. 
    Eric didn’t want complications. All he needed was a polished date for various events—not someone like me—a much younger woman who challenged him, exasperated him, and worst of all, made him feel. 
    Just as we were on the brink of something real, shadows from my past threatened to tear us apart. Would Eric and I find a way to overcome our fears and fight for the connection we never saw coming, or would doubt and betrayal destroy our chance at happiness?
