About the Book

Irises and Roses characters explore the French/English divide in Quebec from post-World War II to the height of the FLQ Crisis of 1970.

Book Synopsis

Alain is French and Ellen, English. They meet amid the fear and chaos of the FLQ bombings. From the fictional village of Saint Dominic to the quiet Eastern Townships to the bustling city of Montréal, this historical novel takes readers on a personal, intimate journey as Alain and Ellen grow up during the Quiet Revolution in Quebec and become embroiled in the clash of English versus French. When Alain and Ellen come together at teachers' college, they find a lasting hope in each other.

Irises and Roses examines the French/English divide in the province of Quebec from post-World War II to the height of the October Crisis of 1970. The story of each character explores the realities of English oppression and the rise of French separatist movement.

Review Quotes

Irises and Roses is an intriguing Romeo and Juliet style romance set in the turbulent

Quebec of the 1960s. The love story provides a fascinating window into two cultures trying to understand each other. When you pick it up, it'll be hard to put down.

- Ian McLeod, author of The Dispossessed
