For Reading ...

THE TIN FLUTE
by Gabrielle Roy
published by
McClelland and Stewart Ltd

The Tin Flute is-a novel about
poverty, but not just an economic
situatlon, because it reveals the
poverty of the mind and spirit
which accompanies an inadequal
income. | .

The story takes place in Mont.
real during the depression years
of the 1930’s and early 40's. Ga-
brielle Roy has been able to put
into words the frustration, fears
and the whole nightmare created
by poverty. She capably shows
through her characters, how the
individual reacts to this environ-
treat so that the reader is able to
ical the depth of despair of the
people within the story.

Miss ‘Roy is one of Canada’s
best fiction writers, She was born
and educated’ in Manitoba and
taaght school there for a number
of years, She now lives in Quebec
City,

The Tin Flute won several liter-
ary awards and is a valuable ad-
dition to any library of books writ-
ten by Canadians.
