SERAFIM AND CLAIRE
Book ID/图书代码： 06481013B62442
English Summary/英文概要： The Paris Wife, The Rules of Civility, and The Cat’s Table all rolled into one novel set in the vividly imagined streets of 1920’s Montreal about an unlikely duo who team up to catapult their artistic careers forward — with unexpected results.
From one of Canada’s brightest emerging writers comes an unforgettable tale of love, art, and life. Serafim and Claire is the beautiful, moving, and compulsively readable story of two dreamers whose worlds become forever connected.
Claire Audette is a dancer whose reputation in the vaudeville houses of 1920s Montreal is rapidly on the rise. Serafim Vieria is a photographer and lonely immigrant, wandering the streets of the same city haunted by memories of a lost love in his native Portugal. Around them, the Twenties are roaring, and the metropolis is simmering: corrupt politicians, the burgeoning of jazz, the emerging suffragette movement, trouble in the Red Light, fascism in the Italian community, with the English/French divide cleaving through it all. And as Serafim and Claire’s lives begin to intertwine, a dangerous plot forms that could boost both their fortunes. Can their naïve yet cunning plan succeed? Can they make their own luck? And, if they fail, what will become of their budding love? Serafim and Claire is the unforgettable story of two idealistic yet flawed dreamers being drawn together, and of the vibrant city and times in which they live. In lush and beautiful prose, Mark Lavorato brings an entire world vividly to life.
