A book “The Road Past Altamont” by Gabrielle Roy was first published in French in the year 1966 (Dillman, 115). The subject of the book penetrates to the heart of a Child’s in-depth world, forming a subtle, yet considerable linkage of impressions, feelings, and relationships. The nous style of the writer Roy, whose literature imitates her infantile on the Canadian steppe, has often been compared with others. The book entails the four significant stories which are related to the young girl named Christine, from the period for her innocence to maturity. According to the understanding of this book, the purpose of this piece of literature is to make others understand the importance and power of the development of the relationship between a mother and a daughter. Moreover, in her writing, Gabrielle Roy allowed “nothing peripheral or false to stand,” according to many. The four allied stories divulge reflective moments during her early years in the massiveness of Manitoba. However, all the mentioned characters and events express writer’s obsession with childhood till the old age, the passage of the time as well as the mystery of change, and the artist’s relation to the world.

Appearing to be used to witnessing racial violence toward the African Americans, Phoenix Jackson is not frightened even when the gun is pointing at her, facing a life and death situation.

This book is one I've been waiting ages for, and as soon as I got my hands on it at ALA, all I wanted to do was start it - TBR be damned. But, I had to hold myself back until now, and let me tell you, the anticipation only made getting my hands on the little beauty a million times more satisfying. Vengeance Road is one of the first Western books I've ever read, and I think it's the first young adult book of its kind - though Walk on Earth a Stranger is also coming out in September (but that is more paranormal than this one). This book was raw and real, and the sheer intensity of the events made it appear as if we were actually with Kate as everything was happening.
German-born Brooklyn-based saxophonist, Ingrid Laubrock, an active hipster within the modern creative jazz scene, who knows how to prod and when to loosen up, doesn’t stop to amaze me with her projects.
