In the end this may be the appropriate genre for And the Birds Rained Down. There isn't much to
say after reading this kind of beauty. It is during one of the photographer’s interviews with a survivor
of the great fire that we hear the phrase that gives this novel its poetic title. This novel by Jocelyne
Saucier was written in French and has won many awards including the Prix France-Quebec. They
have lived this way for awhile, they each have their own cabins and they are all in their upper
eighties. Actually, we know from the outset that one of the threesome has already left this world, yet
he remains very much a presence and a mystery. There was no reason for them to be poisoned.?? All
in all, And the Birds Rained Down will go down as one of my all-time favourites. It is during one of
the photographer’s interviews with a survivor of the great fire that we hear the phrase that gives this
novel its poetic title. Starting with the rather odd title to the first paragraphs, I wondered why this
slim volume had become a 2015 finalist in Canada's annual book competition, CANADA READS.
As always I am indebted to my golden Goodread friends who with their gifts of writing enrich my
life. ??Cheri, Antoinette, Angela, Jennifer, and so may more. There is more to the story, in such a
small book, it covers quite a bit and all of it is written in a heartfelt manner. Self-determination, over
both one’s life and one’s death, is the central theme. Tom and Charles ask her if she doesn’t have a
life. Fire, when it achieves this power, obeys no one but itself. Aunt Esme in The Vanishing Act of
Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. The book deals with an incendiary storm, here the great 1916
Matheson Fire in northern Ontario. Marie is the only one who can interpret the images. It’s the story
of three souls in love with freedom. Each offers something, be it physically by holding someone close
to allay their night terrors,by painting to express the stories of those long gone so they not be
forgotten or by gracefully accepting the gift of a name to forge a new friendship. Then there's the
ease with with the author mingles the fantastical with the mundane. (Unless we're actually supposed
to believe that people in their nineties can survive off the grid through a northern Ontario winter.
Three old men, living off the land, separate yet together. The author’s dedication is to Marie- Ange,
her aunt, who is the inspiration for the female title character. Huge thanks are due to Rhonda Mullins
for what, I assume, must have been a terrific job of translating it. Her search for the elusive
Boychuck brings her to the end of the road where she encounters a man and his dog. The nature of
art is explored through the paintings of Ted, the recently deceased member of the original three men,
as well as through the work of the photographer (whose name we never learn). Everything in their
lives they do for the good - never to the detriment of their fellow beings, human and animal. Marie
blossoms like a wilted flower that suddenly receives the blessings of rain. A small group of men
becomes transformed with the arrival of two unique women. She has immersed herself in these
stories to the point that she has nightmares. In the novel, a photographer at the end of the century is
searching for the now elderly Boychuck.

completely captivated by this story. I was to discover once more that sometimes it is not so bad
coming late to the party. This was a beautifully written tale of three older men who had done just
that, supported by two younger guys who are growing marijuana out in that same wilderness. It is all
of that and a little bit more, but it introduced me to a group of elderly men and one woman who
were all endearing in their own particular way, but were far from being stereotypical. One of the
main characters, the Photographer is looking for the survivors of the fires. With nothing but a tinbox
of strychnine and mutual promises to avoid unnecessarily painful ends, what looks to the
photographer like a deathpact is actually a lifepact: with a minimum of interaction between these
three reclusive old men, they have been keeping each other alive for years (along with the financial
and material contributions of two younger guys who grow an annual crop of marijuana in their
woods). I was to discover once more that sometimes it is not so bad coming late to the party. I
closed this book with a deep sigh of complete satisfaction. Speaking of cinematic, there was a movie
made of this in 2019. A couple of younger guys bring supplies that are not available in the forest.
When her nephew (one of the pot growers) rescues Marie-Desneige and brings her to the hidden
camp, the old woman is the only one who can “read” Boychuck's paintings; pointing out the screams
and bodies where the others had only seen brushstrokes and squibbles. Often this genre includes
themes of love, nature, philosophy, tender meditation, age and interpersonal relationships, i.e. the
meaningful connections forged between people, all themes which definitely fit the bill for And the
Birds Rained Down. A few final notes. Marijuana plays a small but ultimately significant role in the
story. During dry weather, several of these fires joined together to become an uncontrolled
conflagration. With a cabin to live in, you were never alone.” The next woman to arrive has escaped,
with the help of her uncle, from the mental institution where she was locked up as a 16 year old girl.
I wish I could read this for the first time again, but that is impossible, so I'll go on, as Saucier's
amazing characters do. So, as I said, I loved everything about this book but some things really stood
out for me. What will be the fate of the fictive Marie Desneiges. The different natators do not take
different chapters; each one instead personifies a different character. This is a true gem and I am so
grateful to have stumbled upon the audio version here which was done with great beauty. Nao nos
devemos preocupar com a morte, ela esta a espreita em todas as historias. There isn't much to say
after reading this kind of beauty. Those who have suffered are made sufficiently porous to the
sufferings of others. I loved the description of their developing love story. The arrival of two pot
farmers, a female photographer, and later. One more topic to touch on that provides part of the
backdrop and also the initial reason for the photographer to treck into the Northern Ontario
hinterland: the Great Fires that happened in that region in the early decades of the 20th century. This
rag tag group of forgotten souls are united and moved by the mysteries which are seldom seen.
Another aspect is the unexpected reveal, halfway through the story, of the significance of one of the
men's activities. Thank you Goodreads community- I would not have known about this book
otherwise. To have found each other—so late in life—and love each other so completely they'd do
anything for each other. Award-winning Canadian author and former journalist, Jocelyn Saucier,
chose to end this beautifully unique novel with several dangling threads, and rightly so. We have a
variety of projects in highly desirable locations with flats ranging in categories from EWS, LIG, MIG
and HIG segment to highly opulent flats for the rich and famous. This book takes a thoughtful and
empathetic look at what constitutes a good life, and a good death. They are there, each with their
own reasons, to live away, far away from the rest of the world. The flesh is hanging, sagging,
gathered in wrinkled knots around the mouth, eyes, nose and ears. The men build her the little house
they feel she deserves believing “the insanity might be just that, too much sadness. It is during one
of the photographer’s interviews with a survivor of the great fire that we hear the phrase that gives
this novel its poetic title. The people had no warning and no ready means of escape, except for a few
that escaped into rivers and lakes, and some on a train. Just read it!!! Thank you to Diane Barnes for
bringing this book to my attention. In Boychuck’s cabin, the little community takes note of his
paintings he left behind depicting his experience of the Great Fire. It is told in a unique style and
focuses on single characters as the story develops, with surprises throughout. This is a story of three
old men who chose to disappear into the forest. Tom is eighty-six years old and Charlie is three years
more. I wish I could read this for the first time again, but that is impossible, so I'll go on, as Saucier's
amazing characters do. The sun’s warmth melts the snow and ice to bring summer around again. My
thanks to Betsy Robinson, whose review prompted me to immediately download it from the library.
This was pure gold, I almost found myself resenting it every time I turned a page because it brought
the end that much closer. This is such a wonderful story of a group of people who chose to move
away and inhabit a hidden place like foxes in the undergrowth. It is such as shame, as my older
friends have so much experience to draw on and wisdom to impart. It wouldn't seem an accident that
it's the old women who didn't live lives of their own while the old men had the freedom to live any
way they liked; the fact that the photographer is repeatedly described as not particularly feminine
likely explains why she straddles the two worlds. Marie Desneige was brought to Charlie and Tom’s
camp by a minor character, Bruno who tells them her wretched history. There are 2 short interviews
with the author -both easily obtained by googling- that I found very enlightening. This is such a
wonderful story of a group of people who chose to move away and inhabit a hidden place like foxes
in the undergrowth. The photographer wanders into this place, as well as into this story, in search of
people who survived the Great Fires. The elderly aunt has spent the vast majority of her life in an
institution for the mentally ill, and her nephew, knowing that there is freedom available out in the
woods, spins a tale for the authorities and drives her out into the forest. Jocelyne Saucier's unnamed
narrator gives us a few hints about the story upfront and returns from time to time. I became
interested in this novel after reading several positive reviews from GR friends and now, I happily
join in their praise.
