Valentine in Montreal : a novel / by O'Neill, Heather,author.; O'Neill, Arizona,illustrator.;
"A young woman who works at a Montreal metro station looks up and sees her doppelganger and is thrown into an unexpected adventure, in this playful and surprising novel, first serialized in the Montreal Gazette and now beautifully illustrated. In the tradition of the serialized novels of Charles Dickens, Armistead Maupin, Tom Wolfe, Stephen King, and Michael Chabon, Heather O'Neill brings us Valentine in Montreal. Originally published in weekly installments in the Montreal Gazette as "Mystery in the Metro," this is the story of Valentine, a lonely and orphaned girl, who, while working at the dépanneur of a Montreal metro station, spots her look-alike. Following this seeming twin on to the subway and out into the city, Valentine's world is changed -- she meets gangsters, composers, ballet dancers, a cricket playing a mournful tune and she meets the city, in all its teeming energy. Valentine in Montreal is a playful, moving and surprising story of a young woman finding both connection and the courage to break free of what has been holding her back. It's also a portrait of Montreal and its artistry and vibrancy both above and below ground. Illustrations by graphic artist Arizona O'Neill run throughout."--

"The delightful new installment of the beloved and New York Times bestselling Miss Julia series. When Miss Julia's regular doctor goes on vacation with his wife, leaving a replacement in his stead, Miss Julia is immediately concerned. Never one to miss an opportunity to entertain--or size up--a newcomer, she invites the charming Dr. Don Crawford, and his painfully shy wife, Lauren, to dinner. While Miss Julia and Sam both note Lauren's obvious lack of social skills, it's her friends Hazel Marie and Binkie that pick up on some of Dr. Crawford's less palatable qualities. Meanwhile, Lloyd has gotten his first car, and LuAnne, fresh off her divorce, has started a job at the local funeral home and is in urgent need of an occupation-appropriate makeover--Miss Julia has enough on her plate. Yet there is just something she can't place about the Crawfords, and she won't rest until she gets to the bottom of it. As always, hijinks ensue as Ann B. Ross delivers this delightful and entertaining installment, Miss Julia Takes the Wheel, in her bestselling Miss Julia series"--
