An excerpt from “Trouble and Strife,” by Johanne Levesque
As the March wind blows cold, the sun heats my black wool coat. I am the first to enter Eleanor’s elegant home. After the traditional kiss on both cheeks and me parting with my gift of fresh scones I made this morning, Eleanor motions me to follow into the living room.
As Eleanor sits down, she asks, “Which Agatha Christie book are you reading nowadays?”
“I’ve veered from my normal choices to read The Grapes of Wrath.”
“I’m surprised to find you reading this book Josephine; did you know that the Toronto Public Library has censored it?”
“On what grounds?”
“On account of its offensive language.”
“The language is not that bad...”
