<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Choosing Eleonore</i> tells the story of a one-way friendship, of tragic loneliness. In it, award-winning Quebec author Andrée A. Gratton explores the syndrome of the delusion of being loved. Centred on two young women: Eleonore and Marianne, this is Marianne's story. From the first sentence, we feel that something is wrong in her perception of reality. Long before we met, Eleonore had been dreaming of me, she says. But who is this Eleonore, whom Marianne had never spoken to? What is so fascinating about her? Neither humiliation and rebuffs nor rejection will disabuse Marianne of her certainty of being loved by Eleonore.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In a way we are Marianne as we read. Her delusion, in fact, makes her uneasily relatable, an everywoman. This is at least partly to do with Gratton's spare, tender and utterly convincing style, and Ian Thomas Shaw's lucid translation. As for the rest, some human mysteries can only be experienced, not explained.</p>--Ottawa Review of Books (1/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Andrée Gratton was born in Arvida in 1980.
