111 places in Montreal that you must not miss / by McInnis, Kaitlyn,author.; Livingstone, Bethany,photographer.;

Montreal is so much more than its old world architecture and love of wine and cheese. The Quebecois metropolis is bursting with enough joie de vivre to make just about anyone want to get out and explore its cobblestoned and pothole-ridden streets -- and true Montrealers know that the city has its own unique identity and quirks that place it in a league all its own. Spend a wine-fueled cinq à sept with a ghost at the city's oldest bar. Get up close and personal with a life-like portrayal of Benito Mussolini. And go skating in the middle of the downtown core -- any time of the year. This guide comes as a love letter to Canada's largest French-speaking city and everything it has to offer its residents and travelers. Visiting and full-time Montrealers alike will be pleasantly surprised by what can be discovered beyond the cobblestone and steeples if only you're willing to take the side streets.

May our joy endure : a novel / by Lambert, Kevin,1992-author.; Winkler, Donald,translator.; translation of:Lambert, Kevin,1992-Que notre joie demeure.English.;

"Céline Wachowski, internationally renowned architect and accidental digital-culture icon, finally unveils her plans for the Webuy Complex, her first major public project commissioned by the city of Montreal, her hometown. But instead of the triumphant celebration she anticipates in at last bringing her reputation to bear in her own city, the project is immediately excoriated by critics, who accuse the her of callously destroying the social fabric of struggling neighborhoods, ushering in a new era of gentrification, and many even deadlier sins. Caught in the turmoil between her vision for a new Montreal and the protestors whose actions grow increasingly personal, Céline must make sense of the charges against herself and the milieu in which she finds the people she believes to be her friends. For the first time in danger of losing their footing, what fictions do they tell themselves to justify their privileges, and to maintain their position in the world that they themselves have built? A dazzling social novel set in the microcosm of the ultra privileged, May Our Joy Endure depicts with razor-sharp acuity the terrible beauty of wealth, influence, and art in the era of late capitalism."--

Cooking for Picasso : a novel / by Aubray, Camille,author.;

"For readers of Paula McLain, Nancy Horan, and Melanie Benjamin, this captivating novel is inspired by a little-known interlude in the artist's life. The French Riviera, spring 1936: It's off-season in the lovely seaside village of Juan-les-Pins, where seventeen-year-old Ondine cooks with her mother in the kitchen of their family-owned Cafe Paradis. A mysterious new patron who's slipped out of Paris and is traveling under a different name has made an unusual request--to have his lunch served to him at thenearby villa he's secretly rented, where he wishes to remain incognito. Pablo Picasso is at a momentous crossroads in his personal and professional life--and for him, art and women are always entwined. The spirited Ondine, chafing under her family's authority and nursing a broken heart, is just beginning to discover her own talents and appetites. Her encounter with Picasso will continue to affect her life for many decades onward, as the great artist and the talented young chef each pursue their own passions and destiny. New York, present day: Celine, a Hollywood makeup artist who's come home for the holidays, learns from her mother, Julie, that Grandmother Ondine once cooked for Picasso. Prompted by her mother's enigmatic stories and the hint of more family secrets yet to be uncovered, Celine carries out Julie's wishes and embarks on a voyage to the very town where Ondine and Picasso first met. In the lush, heady atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur, and with the help of several eccentric fellow guests attending a rigorous cooking class at her hotel, Celine discovers truths about art, culture, cuisine, and love that enable her to embrace her own future. Featuring an array of both fictional characters and the French Riviera's most famous historical residents,set against the breathtaking scenery of the South of France, Cooking for Picasso is a touching, delectable, and wise story, illuminating the powers of trust, money, art, and creativity in the choices that men and women make, as they seek a path toward love, success, and joie de vivre."--
