An Appropriate Place

Lise Bissonnette

Synopsis:
In this final volume of The False Pretenses trilogy, Gabrielle Perron quits her job as minister of cultural affairs and retreats to the suburbs of Montreal, where she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and reconstruction. Gabrielle's search leads through the corridors of power in Ottawa and Quebec City, as well as on a moving trip through strife-torn Ethiopia, and finally to strange and deadly intersections with characters from Affairs of Art and Following the Summer, including the impressive but erratic poet and rabble-rouser Clothaire Lemelin. Though packed with action and incident, this novel is as much a commentary on the triumphs and self-deception of the political generation that refashioned Quebec as it is a dramatic story of one woman looking for her place within a disappointing world.
