Gabrielle Roy."] Genuine presentation Gabrielle Roy books are rarely encountered. A near fine or better copy showing some light use [spine slightly cocked] in the publisher's illustrated stiff paper wrappers with integral French flaps. 8vo. 261 pp. Gabrielle Roy is an essential figure in Canadian literature, and Rue Deschambault (originally titled Street of Riches) is one of her most celebrated works. First published in 1955, the novel is a semi-autobiographical account of her early life, particularly growing up in the working-class neighborhood of Saint-Henri in Montreal. The story weaves together themes of class struggle, the nature of poverty, and the sense of yearning for something greater, while also evoking the warmth and complexity of family life and community. Roy's exploration of Montreal’s multicultural environment—rich with French, Irish, and other immigrant communities—made her work resonate not only with French-Canadian readers but also with a wider Canadian and international audience. Rue Deschambault was instrumental in placing Roy at the forefront of Québécois and French-Canadian literature, establishing her as a literary giant alongside contemporaries like Michel Tremblay. .
