Va me chercher Baby Doll
Go Find Baby Doll
by Lucie Lachapelle
Éditions XYZ, 2021
192 pages
14×21 cm
A road novel that casts a raw, yet surprisingly tender light on violence against women, the world of prostitution, and mother-daughter relationships. The story maintains a lightness to it and features vibrant and unexpected characters, all shouldering their own burdens, all with a thirst for freedom.
Ever since Cartridge was released from prison, she has been living in a cabin in the woods. Her crime: killing an old drunk who was assaulting a young Anishinaabe.
One day she received a message from her dying friend Gipsy: “Go find my daughter Baby Doll”. Cartridge doesn’t have time to think, she leaves right away and makes her way across the country before Baby Doll winds up on the side of the road, needles still in her veins.
Will she find Baby Doll and bring her back to her mother before either of them dies? How can we learn to sort the wheat from the chaff?
