In The King of Montréal, Daniela Norris weaves together an intricate story of historical facts with present-day life to delight and amaze the reader. She has a knack for making the reader feel that we are walking alongside the protagonist, in the New World as well as the old. ~ Lori Sokol, PhD, Executive Director/Editor-in-Chief Women’s eNews
The King of Montreal is a fresh take on a long-standing legend. Daniela Norris leads us on a bittersweet journey across an ocean, through new countries, and into the hearts of young lovers. ~ Katie Hayoz, author of Untethered
The King of Montréal is a pulsating refugee journey like no other. Daniela Norris deftly mixes the historical colour of the French Revolution and the New World with the surprising tale of the surviving Dauphin. She flips the values of the revolution, equality, and friendship to the new life of Louis-Charles as a penniless exile meeting other street urchins, an orphan maid and Indigenous helpmates. A perilous period is transformed into an original, human story of belonging. ~ Sheila Das, writer and host of Flow, the podcast about the power of conversation (flowwithsheiladas.com)
An exciting and fascinating journey into the past, where other journeys unfold: from Old World to New, from prince to commoner, from innocence to wisdom. ~ Edeet Ravel, author of A Boy is Not a Bird
