Paperback. Winner of the 2023 French-American Translation Prize for FictionNot far away from here is a lake. You have to pay for access to its shores, but I know where there's a hole in the fence.The water will be icy, but it will still be in a liquid state.That's what I will do today. I will go through the hole in the fence and I'll dive into the icy water.And then I'll go home.Friends since grade school, Celine, Julie, and Sabrina come of age at the start of a new millennium, supporting each other and drifting apart as their lives pull them in different directions. But when their friend dies by suicide in the abandoned city lot where they once gathered, they must carry on in the world that left him behind-one they once dreamed they would change for the better. From the grind of Montreal service jobs, to isolated French Ontario countryside childhoods, to the tenuous cooperation of Bay Area punk squats, the three young women navigate everyday losses and fears against the backdrop of a tumultuous twenty-first century. An ode to friendship and the ties that bind us together, Stefanie Clermont's award-winning The Music Game confronts the violence of the modern world and pays homage to those who work in the hope and faith that it can still be made a better place. From French Ontario to the anarchist camps of California, three young women come of age in a tumultuous 21st century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
