The Age of Light
by Whitney Scharer
|
Is it “possible to reconcile romantic desire with artistic passion?” This is the question Vogue model Lee Miller grapples with when she moves to Paris and finds herself involved with famous Surrealist artist Man Ray. Miller, a pioneer in photographic technique, went on to become a first-rate war photographer. An engrossing, sexy novel that sweeps the reader into the glamorous art scene in 1930s Paris and the stark battlefields of World War II.

By Chance Alone
by Max Eisen
|
More than 70 years after the Nazi camps were liberated by the Allies, a new Canadian Holocaust memoir details the rural Hungarian deportations to Auschwitz-Birkenau, back-breaking slave labour in Auschwitz I, the infamous “death march” in January 1945, the painful aftermath of liberation, a journey of physical and psychological healing.
This holocaust memoir is the inspirational and heartbreaking story of survival against all odds. An important book with a message of hope in the face of devastation and suffering. Highly recommended.

The Widows of Malabar Hill
by Sujata Massey
|
An historical mystery based on the first female lawyer of India in the 1920’s. It has been a very long time since I sat down to read and was instantly captivated by the world and the characters an author created. Fascinating.

The Secret Wisdom of Nature
by Peter Wohlleben
|
Nature is full of surprises: deciduous trees affect the rotation of the Earth, cranes sabotage the production of Iberian ham, and coniferous forests can make it rain. But what are the processes that drive these incredible phenomena? And why do they matter?
This is the final book in his series, The Mysteries of Nature. Thought provoking, with many surprises in store. Great reading!

Homes
by Abu Bakr Al Rabeeah
with Winnie Yeung
|
Homes is the remarkable true story of how a young boy emerged from a war zone - and found safety in Canada - with a passion for sharing his story and telling the world what is truly happening in Syria.
I appreciated the honesty and innocence of this young man’s story. It helps us to understand life in places and circumstances so foreign to us.

The Great Happiness:
Stories and Comics
by M.A.C. Farrant
|
M.A.C. Farrant, one of my favourite Canadian humorists has done it again, with her latest witty, delightful collection of 70 miniature fictions and comic drawings, each one a combination of narrative, prose poem, and jest. This is a book I’ll pick up time and again, now and in years to come, to enjoy her “steady devotion to the absurdity of daily life."

The Last Romantics
by Tara Conklin
In the spring of 1981, the young Skinner siblings lose their father to a heart attack and their mother to a paralyzing depression, events that thrust them into a period they will later call “the Pause.” Caught between the predictable life they once led and an uncertain future, the siblings navigate the dangers and resentments of the Pause to emerge fiercely loyal and deeply connected.

Sofie & Cecilia
by Katherine Ashenburg
This is the story of a lifelong female friendship, set in the fascinating art world of Sweden between 1900 and 1940, just as modern art and the beginnings of the Scandinavian mid-century modern design movement were inspiring a creative revolution across northern Europe. Loosely based on the lives of celebrated artists Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn.

The Reckoning
by Linda Spalding
In the spring of 1855, John Dickinson is involved in a shameful secret that will require a tragic decision. The family's resources have been wasted by a reckless brother who holds all of them hostage and, adding fuel to John's desperation, the enslaved workers have been visited by a Canadian abolitionist who pushes them to escape.

The Philosopher's Flight
by Tom Miller
The first book in a new series,
The Philosopher’s Flight
is an epic historical fantasy set in World-War-I - era America.
Eighteen-year-old Robert Weekes is one of the few men who practice empirical philosophy - an arcane, female-dominated branch of science used to summon the wind, heal the injured, and even fly. He’s always dreamed of being the first man to join the elite team of flying medics, but everyone knows that’s impossible: men can barely get off the ground.

The American
by Nadia Dalbuono
When Detective Leone Scamarcio is called to an apparent suicide on the Ponte Sant’Angelo, a stone’s throw from Vatican City, the dead man's expensive suit suggests yet another businessman fallen on hard times. But Scamarcio is immediately troubled by similarities with the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, dubbed ‘God’s Banker’ because of his work for the Vatican Bank.
