Montreal at the turn of the 20th century was, at least according to the premise of this story, a bawdy, dirty place. Except of course for the wealthy barons who exploited all the workers (and patronizing the prostitutes) living in those squalid conditions. Never would these societies intermingle until, of course, they did. This is a love story of two girls from either side of the tracks, forever bound by an act of violence. Their budding relationship is beset by obstacle after obstacle, with an occasional Molotov cocktail (and döppelganger) tossed in. Definitely worth the read.
