Published in Canada in 1945 and awarded the Prix Femina in France in 1947, Bonheur d'occasion is a landmark of Canadian literature. Set in Montreal during the Second World War, Florentine, Rose-Anna, Azarius, Emmanuel, and Jean each search, in their own way, for happiness through love, family, and the hope of a better future. With profound humanity, Gabrielle Roy gives voice to lives shaped by both the promise of progress and the violence of history.
