Rosa Ost grows up in Notre-Dame-du-Cachalot, a tiny village at the
end of the world, where two industries are king: paper and Boredom.
The only daughter of Terese Ost (a fair-to-middling trade unionist
and a first-rate Scrabble player), the fate that befalls Rosa is
the focus of this tale of long journeys and longer lives, of
impossible deaths, unwavering prophecies, and unsettling dreams as
she leaves her village for Montreal on a quest to summon the
westerly wind that has proved so vital to the local economy. From
village gossips, tealeaf-reading exotic dancers, and Acadian red
herrings to soothsaying winkles and centuries-old curses, Rosa's
Very Own Personal Revolution is a delightful, boundary-pushing
story about stories and the storytellers who make them—and a
reminder that revolutions in Quebec aren't always quiet.
