Date with Destiny by Hélène Rioux , Translated by Jonathan Kaplansky

In this collection of ten short stories, the main characters — women between the ages of 13 to 88 — see death appear suddenly in their daily lives: in the pages of a novel written by a former lover, in a farewell letter abandoned on a living room coffee table, in the memory of a first love. Although disturbing in their truth, these stories are written in luminous prose that reconciles us — almost — with that ultimate rendezvous, our own Date With Destiny.
