1991—When the author was invited to a school in Princeville (QC) to speak on this sequel to the novel—Cassiopée ou l’été polonais—for which she received the Governor General’s Award, a group of parents objected to the visit because the book deals with, among other things, teenage sex. After a survey of the sexual habits of students revealed that the novel would not unleash a wave of traumas, the visit was allowed to take place.
