• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Front de Liberation du Quebec, or FLQ, was a revolutionary movement which began in the early 1960s at the University of Montreal. In the beginning, young students gathered to plan for total independence of Quebec. When a frustrated ragtag group of rebels intensified their rebellious actions using bombings and kidnappings to force the hand of government, the city of Montreal descended into chaos and fear.
When Claudette, a young graduate student and her lover, Karl, a newly arrived refugee from rebel-infested Hungary fell in love, they had no idea their lives would be drastically affected by Claudette's dreams of independence with her FLQ friends.
Claudette risks losing her marriage over the constant conflicts with Karl, who is afraid of being deported for belonging to this outlaw group.
Based on real events with real personalities, this novel is historical fiction. It includes the story of the terrible massacre involving the daughter at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal in 1989 (in Part II).
