		The Tin Flute, Gabrielle Roy's first novel, is sadly one of those books that is more often encountered in the classroom as a "milestone of Quebec literature" than read for its own considerable merits.
		Roy devotes most of her attention to Florentine Lacasse, a naive young waitress in Montreal's St-Henri neighbourhood.
		Roy gives the perfect one-sentence description of Jean: "He could be kind if his kindness caused him no problems." Florentine muses about herself (and I believe Roy asks the reader): "Sweetness brought you nowhere.

	ON FIRST READING GABRIELLE ROY / Margaret Atwood
		If Gabrielle Roy were here, she might propose a kitchen chair — grouped with other kitchen chairs around a kitchen table, where various people would congregate to discuss their problems — financial problems, personal problems, political problems.
		I did not consciously think of Gabrielle Roy as a role model; nevertheless, in a writing world populated, then, mostly by dead people who were male and not Canadian, there she was — still alive, a woman, a Canadian, and important enough for me to be reading her in school.
		Canadian literature, however, was still not highly regarded, and it was rarely taught in schools and universities, except — as in the case of Gabrielle Roy — as part of a French language course.

	Amazon.com: Reviews for The tin flute,: Books: Gabrielle Roy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Its author, Gabrielle Roy, reached out to an audience with eloquent, flowing prose, by describing the very depth of the human condition through the Lacasse family.
		However, the English title of "The Tin Flute" is very suitable and expresses the message of the novel from the smallest Lacasse child, Daniel -- his only great desire was to have a shiny tin flute, a symbol of all that he would never be able to call his own, in a poverty-stricken existence.
		With this groundwork, Roy paints a convincing and enthralling portrait of an impoverished family, troubled love, and mixed ideals in the midst of World War II.
