The book cover of The Bigamist by Felicia Mihali is held up against a bright blue winter sky. The cover features a stylized illustration of a woman in a red dress with black hair. The background is dark with a patterned design. Bold text above the image reads: “The Bigamist Quote of the Day!” and below, “Linda’s Pick.”
A quote card from The Bigamist on a patterned blue and white background, with illustrated versions of the woman from the book cover in each corner. The quote reads: “I would have liked to remain the thrifty woman that Aron appreciated. And I would have liked to be the American wife Roman desired. I would have liked never to have cheated, lied, betrayed, left. Unfortunately, I did all that.”
📚 The Bigamist Quote of the Day!
We end with a quiet confession—one that stays with you. A favourite of translator Linda Leith, who brings Felicia Mihali’s voice to English readers with care.

A stylized promotional graphic for The Bigamist by Felicia Mihali. The book cover is held up outdoors, featuring a minimalist illustrated woman in a red dress against a dark background. The text reads: “The Bigamist Quote of the Day! Felicia’s Pick.” The background is patterned with blue and white arches, echoing the book’s aesthetic.
A square graphic with a quote on a white notecard pinned to a patterned blue background. The quote reads: “My new home in Laval had taken me away from Montreal, a city that remained as foreign to me as a tourist destination. When I returned to see Aron in his unsanitary apartment, which was cold because he was always trying to save on electricity, Montreal depressed me like never before.” Decorative illustrations of the same illustrated woman from the book cover appear in the bottom corners.
A similar notecard-style graphic with a quote that reads: “I hadn’t had time to get used enough to the city to be able to describe its intimate corners affectionately. No familiar places, favourite cafés or restaurants, no streets often walked. I had floated through the city rather than touching it—proof I didn’t belong there.” The same blue patterned background and illustrated woman appear in the design.

Felicia Mihali reflects on alienation, memory, and belonging in a city that never felt like home.

Graphic featuring a quote from Linda Leith’s translation of "The Bigamist" by Felicia Mihali. The background is white with a red pin graphic at the top and stylized illustrations of the woman from the book cover in each corner. The quote reads: “It was a great thing, too, to see Roman at a vernissage or a book launch, where he made his car and sometimes his money available to the artists. Whenever anyone questioned our relationship, he introduced himself as my chauffeur.”
