Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette never knew her grandmother Suzanne, an artist who abandoned her husband and children in her youth and never looked back. The Escape Artist is a fictionalized account of Suzanne’s life over 85 years, taking readers through Québec’s Quiet Revolution and the American civil rights movement, offering a portrait of a volatile woman on the margins of history.

    Cualquier personaje que se la pasa haciéndole creer a los demás que no merecen ser amados me caen mal. Más que eso siento que los personajes son flojos y eso hace que sus acciones sean incomprensibles y cansadas. Pareciera que se busca acumular la mayor cantidad de situaciones "impactantes" en la menor cantidad de páginas sin ahondar en ninguna. Pareciera también que se quiere abarcar una cantidad de sucesos de la vida del personaje sin discriminar los que realmente puedan ser relevantes para la historia como un todo.

      Claude doesn’t scream. He doesn’t cry, doesn’t shake. He is stock still, frozen in horror. He has just lost his ocean. The one that was stopping him from being dashed against the rocks.

          He is calm. The calm of a person who has just made a choice.
