Title: The girl who was Saturday night
Description: Gorgeous twins Noushcka and Nicolas Tremblay live with their grandfather Loulou in a tiny, sordid apartment on St. Laurent Boulevard. They are hopelessly promiscuous, wildly funny, and infectiously charming. On the eve of their twentieth birthday, the twins' self-destructive shenanigans catch up with them when Noushcka agrees to be beauty queen in the local St. Jean Baptiste Day parade. The media spotlight returns, and the attention of a relentless journalist exposes the cracks in the family's relationships. With all the wit and poignancy that made Baby such a beloved character in "Lullabies for Little Criminals," O'Neill writes of an unusual family and what binds them together and tears them apart.
