Therese and Pierrette and the Little Hanging Angel is the second of five novels in Michel Tremblay's Plateau Mont-Royal series, an evocative, magical retelling of the author's own birth, childhood, and adolescence in a working class Montreal neighborhood of eccentrics, dreamers and imaginary characters of mythic proportions.
