Translation of: Le passage obligé.

"Rite of Passage finds Nana at the crossroads of the end of childhood, facing the passing of her adolescence and the arrival of new responsibilities as her grandmother Joséphine approaches her last hours. To calm the storm, Nana reads the enthralling tales of Josaphat-the-Violin - a returning character in Tremblay's Plateau Mont-Royal Chronicles. Three of Josaphat's fantastical stories contain revelations whose full influence in her own existence Nana cannot yet measure. In parallel, Nina's rebellious mother, Maria, languishes back in Montreal. She is torn between her desire to gather her young family around her and her deep uncertainty about being able to care for them properly. "--Publisher.
