Two Sisters, Book Five of The Blessed, A Novel of Montreal

It's after World War Two and two Austrian sisters find themselves living in a burgeoning metropolis. Their journeys to the city were very different and their worlds are now dichotomous. One has a respected family where each member's story joins the tales of the four families previously introduced in The Blessed, A Novel of Montreal. The other must find her way alone in a new world of widows and orphans, lost souls and fragile hopes for the future. Around both sisters the city explodes with language wars, nationalism, sexual liberation, cultural renaissance, riots, and crimes which become more common as a new era advances. Is it a great time to be alive or are changes happening too quickly for two women born into a luxurious and elegant old world? This final volume of the pentalogy brings to a close the saga of five unique families who helped build a great city.
