 ;</p>\n<p>On October 22\, we'll discuss &nbsp\;&laquo\;Chronique de la d&e
 acute\;rive douce&raquo\; by Dany Laferri&egrave\;re.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In hi
 s novel\, Haitian-born author Dany Laferri&egrave\;re recounts the events 
 and experiences of his first year in Montreal after escaping the dictatori
 al regime in his homeland. The reader follows the protagonist from the mom
 ent he arrives at the airport\, where he is immediately confronted with a&
 nbsp\;culture that could not be any more different to everything he has kn
 own before\, through his struggles and achievements. This&nbsp\;is a story
  of contrast\, such as the coldness of the Canadian winter and the Haitian
  heat\, of loneliness and the hardships of being a refugee\, but also one 
 of hope and perseverance. Is written in a poetic style and divided into 36
 6 parts to represent each day of the leap year during which Lafferi&egrave
 \;re first arrived in Montreal.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>More information about th
