Tara Gereaux
Torduvalle, Saskatchewan, 1946.
Florence has created a beautiful life for herself. Her home is immaculate; she is a model employee at Pratt’s Insurance, where she works as a secretary. Her hair is the perfect shade of movie-star blonde—never once does she allow her brown roots to show. She dyes them every other Saturday night, without fail.
But one morning, everything changes.
Florence notices a new group of men at the local diner, Métis workers from out of town, hired on for the season at a nearby farm. And one of them has a connection to the past that Florence has spent her entire life outrunning. He has one simple request for her.
Suddenly, Florence is thrown back into memories of her life before. Suddenly, the line between who she once was and who she has chosen to be feels very thin.
And when Florence learns of the government’s plans for the Métis community on the fringes of town, she will be faced with a choice—one that will shatter her carefully constructed life forever.
This extraordinary novel asks us what we will do for our community, for our families, for our friends, even at our own expense. It examines the harrowing effects of choosing to live as someone else—and the radiant peace that comes from finally living one’s truth. Gripping, wrenching, and utterly immersive, Wild People Quiet is a stunning achievement by a remarkable literary talent.

批評家のレビュー
"Parenteau’s performance is a profoundly layered act of resistance and preservation."
"In the fictional town of predominantly white Torduvalle, Saskatchewan, protagonist Florence Banks is an ideal citizen. She boasts a good salary, a neat home, and an appreciation for discretion. But when Gereaux rolls back the tape to four decades earlier, listeners meet Florence Campeau, a young Métis girl, and narrator Tanis Parenteau comes alive. Parenteau (Métis Nation of Alberta) narrates not only passages written in the endangered Michif language but also the uniquely accented French that the Métis characters sprinkle into their speech. This vibrant aural experience lightens the dark reality of Florence’s marginalized childhood. It’s a quietly radical, compassionate exploration of dual identity."
