Alain marries Virginie in the crypt of Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal. It should be the best day of their lives. Around the groom are his in-laws, his best friend, his cousin and his parents, who left the wars of the Middle East for Quebec, where they then fought a different, intimate war of divorce and lawyers. The table is set for disaster, and the evil eye bides its time. Alain is unwell and getting worse, his body and mind deserting him, just as an accursed name from the dark years of the past comes back. Everything he wanted to forget comes to claim its due. Told over a single day, the novel deals with family, illness, immigration, religion and grief.
