Ian Williams wins the 2019 Scotiabank Giller prize!

Reproduction

By Ian Williams

In the store

Winner of the 2019 Scotiabank Giller prize!!! A hilarious, surprising and poignant love story about the way families are invented, told with the savvy of a Zadie Smith and with an inventiveness all Ian Williams' own, Reproductionbangs lives together in a polyglot suburb of Toronto.

The Innocents

By Michael Crummey

In the store

Beautiful but dark. The language is biblical and captures and awakens you to the trials of living. A brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated cove on Newfoundland's northern coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean, by a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. Very powerful writing!

Lampedusa: A Novel

By Steven Price

In the store

Such a beautifully and tenderly written novel about the real life of the lonely Italian Prince from the crumbling aristocracy who wants to leave his mark in the world before he dies. Also a lyrical investigation about the creative life! He left behind The Leopard which could be said to be the most famous Italian novel written, but alas, he died before it was published.

Dual Citizens

By Alix Ohlin

In the store

From Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Alix Ohlin comes an intimate and compelling novel about motherhood, love and the search for belonging, and what it means to be a sister. Ohlin is very culturally sophisticated and brings in many references to music and art. A real delight!

Immigrant City

By David Bezmozgis

In the store

David Bezmozgis, the writer who brought us the "pointed, emotionally resonant tales" (The Globe and Mail) of Natasha and Other Stories, brings us a new collection, his first in more than a decade. In the title story, a father and his young daughter stumble into a bizarre version of his immigrant childhood.

Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club

By Megan Coles

In the store

By turns biting, funny, poetic, and heartbreaking, Megan Coles' debut novel rips into the inner lives of a wicked cast of characters, building towards a climax that will shred perceptions and force a reckoning. Another great novel from that wonderful cauldron of energy - Newfoundland.

We are celebrating the fifth addition to the Loops & Lattes Hiking Guides series: Waterloo, Wellington & Guelph Hikes with a book signing! Have your copy signed by the author, hiker & outdoors enthusiast Nicola Ross on Saturday, December 7th from 11 am to 1 pm. 

 

 

 

About the guide from the website NicolaRoss.ca:

Waterloo, Wellington & Guelph Hikes, the fifth in our Loops & Lattes series of hiking guides, takes you to a land where historic cities, towns and villages cozy up to pastoral rivers. Where Octoberfest competes for your attention with horse-drawn buggies, and gracious stone homes vie for your favour with resplendent maple forests.

Where else in Canada can you board a train, transfer to a wagon, get dropped off next to a garage occupied by horses and buggies, wander along streets lined with heritage inns and restaurants, and pick up a latte before your hike has even begun? And then, and then, you follow trails that tunnel through dense forests, climb to panoramic views, weave among enormous farms and pass through carpets of white trilliums.

About the author from the website NicolaRoss.ca:

I offer a variety of communication services including freelance writing and editing for magazines, newspapers and books as well as coaching and instruction. I am a seasoned non-fiction writer with particular expertise and experience in the environmental, travel and sport sectors. The winner of several writing awards including a National Magazine Award, and author of eight books, I taught freelance writing at Humber College for several years. In a quick, efficient manner, I turn technical facts, figures and details into well-organized and concise prose that captures and holds the reader’s attention.

After years working in the environment sector as a climate change consultant, writer and editor of Canada’s national environmental magazine Alternatives Journal, I now focus on travel and adventure writing.

If you require someone to research and write magazine- or newspaper- or book-length projects, please contact me at nross@woodrising.com.
