The Years of Fire
"Charles the Bold, Volume 2"
The second novel in the highly acclaimed series Charles the Bold, about a young man growing up in east-end Montreal.
“Montreal! You’re going to be hearing from me! I’m going to make your ears ring!”
These are the last words in this hypnotically interesting saga that follow the adventurous life of our bold hero, Charles Thibodeau.
This book takes us through his high school years, and is called The Years of Fire for three reasons. First, he discovers girls, and we follow his fumbling but enthusiastic adventures with them. Second, he becomes fired up about politics (“Every so often he would raise his right hand and stare at it in amazement. Just think, it has just shaken the hand of René Lévesque!”)…

Yves Beauchemin, born in 1941 in Noranda, is a giant figure in modern Quebec. His second novel, The Alley Cat, (now in NCL) went on to become what The Canadian Encyclopedia calls “the all-time bestselling novel in Quebec literature.” The French edition of this book, Charles le Téméraire, has also been a huge success . . . and the quartet continues.
