Description

When We Lost Our Heads A Novel by Heather O'Neill is a captivating tale of friendship and intensity, set against the backdrop of 19th century Montreal. The story follows two young women, bound together by a complex and often toxic relationship, as they navigate the complexities of desire, class, and the human heart. Their lives are marked by a delicate balance of passion and violence, as they engage in games of innocence and depravity, and are eventually forced apart by the adults around them. Years later, a singular event brings them back together, upending the city and forcing them to confront the darker aspects of their own desires. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of gender, sex, and the power of the human heart. With its vivid portrayal of life in 19th century Montreal, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the complexities of female relationships.
