In the Cote-des-Neiges region of Montreal, the first stop for many new immigrants, live people of more than 100 nationalities. Two recent arrivals, Marcelo, the sensitive son of Chilean refugees, and Cleo, a shy boy from Haiti, must choose as adults whether to be united by childhood friendship, or divided by race. A seminal statement about multicultural societies. Translated from the French.
"Black Alley is a distinctly refreshing reading experience."-Quill & Quire "Segura's greatest strength as a novelist lies in his tightly focused narration"-Words Without Borders "Segura has brilliantly juxtaposed innocence with violence in order to heighten the tragedy of his story, and the result is devastating."-Montreal Review of Books "Segura's style adds freshness and immediacy"-Rover "a well written, well wrought tale that grabs your attention and does not let go"-Argo Bookshop
