This book is a gem and it could have been a hidden gem if it hadn't been chosen for the On the Same Page program. I had never heard of it nor of its author. I'm so glad I didn't wait any longer to remedy that. This is the story of Angele, a young Metis woman, and Ueno Takami, a Japanese man. Angele and Ueno meet at a gallery opening in Winnipeg and from the beginning Angele is entranced by Ueno. She learns that the print shop where her friend works is going to print a book of Ueno's poetry and woodcuts. She arranges her schedule so that she can go to the printery when the book is being printed. Ueno is delighted to see her and he asks her to translate his poems into French. Then Ueno invites Angele to his cabin on Setting Lake which is near Thompson. Angele and Ueno become lovers and soulmates. Even the cover of this book is gorgeous and it reflects the quote that is on the dedication page: The geese fly over the place where the bullfrogs stay One of the delights of reading this book is the fact that it takes place in Winnipeg for part of the time and then in northern Manitoba for part of the time. I've driven the road to Thompson and the author obviously has also. He captures the experience exactly. And I loved the inclusion of familiar places in Winnipeg like Artspace and Rinella Printers and Sacre Coeur. I was inspired to try my hand at haiku: This book is a painting that is not under glass Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The Setting Lake Sun is the first appearance of Léveillé's work in English, published simultaneously with the original French version, Le Soleil du lac qui se couche (LesÉditions du Blé). The Setting Lake Sun, J.R. Léveillé's first novel set in his native Manitoba, describes the unforgettable encounter of Angèle, an aspiring young Métis architect, with Ueno Takami, an older Japanese poet. The story begins when they meet at an art gallery in Winnipeg, a city surprisingly rich both physically, in its architecture, and culturally, with its mix of heritage and customs brought by people who have emigrated there from all over the world. From Winnipeg Angèle and Ueno head north through the wilds to Thompson. Narrated by Angèle, who is remembering her feelings of excitement, surprise and wonder at the discoveries inspired by the Japanese artist, The Setting Lake Sun is as much a love story as a spiritual journey, a celebration of life in all its incompleteness, imperfection, and impermanence.

C'est un livre très doux presque mystique qui fait rêver et apprécier la beauté qui nous entoure. ( )
