Late in the summer of 1877, as Tsar Alexander II’s Royal Cavalry 

descends on the Ottoman outpost of Constanta and 

a flock of hoopoes appears over the town, Eleonora Cohen is 

ushered into the world by a mysterious pair of midwives. They 

had read the signs, they said: a sea of horses, a conference of birds, 

the North Star in alignment with the moon. It was a prophecy 

that their last king had given on his deathwatch. But joy is mixed 

with tragedy, for Eleonora’s mother dies during labour. Raised by 

her father Yakob and her resentful stepmother, Eleonora passes 

a childhood both happy and uneventful—until the moment she 

learns to read, revealing herself to be a prodigy. 

When her beloved father leaves for Stamboul on business, 

eight-year-old Eleonora stows away in one of his trunks, and 

a new life awaits her. Books, backgammon, beautiful dresses 

and mysterious events define her days. For in mystical, magical 

Stamboul, people are not always what they seem. Her tutor, an 

American minister and educator, may also be a spy. Moncef 

Bey, Yakob’s business partner, has a history of secret societies 

and political manoeuvring. And what to make of the Sultan 

Abdulhamid II himself, beleaguered by friend and foe alike as 

his multi-ethnic empire crumbles? 

The Oracle of Stamboul is a marvellously evocative, shimmering 

novel that will transport readers to another time and 

place—romantic, exotic, yet remarkably similar to our own.

Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed 

with an unfamiliar man. 

She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middleaged 

face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with 

must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-seven 

years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated 

her ability to form new memories. 

But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who 

claims to be working with Christine without her husband’s 

knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of 

her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording 

her daily activities—tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with 

Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life—and rereading 

past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband 

she is completely dependent upon. As the entries build 

up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the 

accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has 

happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the 

horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory? 

Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction 

of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable 

it seems. 

“A deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological 

condition, and a cracking good thriller.”

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a crack in the earth’s 

crust, roughly fifty kilometres offshore, running 1,100 kilometres 

from northern Vancouver Island to northern California. 

About every 500 years this fault generates a monster earthquake. 

There is roughly a thirty percent chance that it could 

happen again within the next fifty years. Or it could happen 

tonight. Without a doubt, the coming quake is one day closer 

today than it was yesterday. 

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is virtually identical to the 

offshore fault that wrecked Sumatra in 2004, and it will generate 

the same type of earthquake, a magnitude nine or higher. It 

will send crippling shockwaves across a far wider area than any 

of the California quakes you’ve ever heard about, slamming five 

cities at the same time: Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland 

and Sacramento. Cascadia’s fault will wreck dozens of smaller 

towns and coastal villages—and no one in these places will be 

able to call their neighbours for help. 

Written by a journalist who has been following this story 

for twenty-five years, Cascadia’s Fault tells the tale of this devastating 

future earthquake and the tsunamis it will spawn. 

JERRY THOMPSON is a writer, director and journalist who 

has earned two Gemini awards for his work. For twenty years, 

he worked as a radio and television journalist (in Winnipeg, Calgary 

and Vancouver), as a network news correspondent, and 

as a documentary film producer for CBC programs such as The 

National, The Journal and the fifth estate. He has written articles 

for Equinox, Reader’s Digest and Vancouver magazine. 

Thompson lives in Sechelt, British Columbia. 

Waiting for “the Big One,” people wonder which city 

the San Andreas will wreck next—San Francisco or 

Los Angeles? Well, perhaps neither, because if by the 

Big One you mean the earthquake that will wreak 

havoc over the widest geographical area, that could 

destroy the most critical infrastructure, that could 

send a train of tsunamis across the Pacific causing 

economic mayhem that would probably last a decade 

or more—then the seismic demon to blame 

could not possibly be the San Andreas. It would have 

to be Cascadia’s fault.

In October 2008, Mellissa Fung, a reporter for CBC’s The 

National, was leaving a refugee camp outside of Kabul when 

she was kidnapped by armed men. She was forced to hike for 

several hours through the mountains until they reached a village; 

there, the kidnappers pushed her towards a hole in the 

ground. “No,” she said. “I am not going down there.” 

For more than a month, Fung lived in that hole, which was 

barely tall enough to stand up in, nursing her injuries, praying 

and writing in a notebook. Under an Afghan Sky is the gripping 

tale of Fung’s days in captivity, surviving on cookies and juice, 

from the “grab” to her eventual release. 

MELLISSA FUNG has been a reporter for CBC television 

since 2003. As a national correspondent she has covered numerous 

topics on both Canadian and world affairs, including the 

Robert Pickton trial, and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. 

In 2007 and 2008 she was sent on assignment to Afghanistan, 

and she was abducted during her second tour. Fung divides her 

time between Toronto and Washington, D.C. 

I heard a noise from the ground. It was Zahir. His 

head popped out of a hole next to where we were 

sitting. The opening was about the size of a manhole 

cover, maybe slightly smaller. He had a flashlight 

and he spoke briefly to Abdulrahman in Pashto 

before disappearing back into the hole. 

“Okay, it is ready,” Abdulrahman said to me. He 

pointed into the ground where Zahir had appeared. 

“That is your room.”

Miss New India 

A Novel 





other rights: Houghton Mifflin 


publicist: Carolyn Ovell 

Anjali Bose may be “Miss New India,” but her prospects 

don’t look great. Born into a traditional lower-middleclass 

family, Anjali lives in a backwater town and has an arranged 

marriage on the horizon. But her ambition, charm and 

fluency in language do not go unnoticed by her influential English 

teacher, Peter Champion (an expat American). And champion 

her Peter does, both to other powerful people who can 

help her along the way and to Anjali herself, stirring in her a 

desire to take charge of her own destiny. 

So she sets off for Bangalore, India’s fastest-growing major 

metropolis, and quickly falls in with an audacious and ambitious 

crowd of young people who have learned how to sound 

American by watching shows like Sex and the City and Seinfeld 

in order to get jobs as call-centre service agents, where they are 

quickly able to out-earn their parents. It is in this high-tech 

city that Anjali—suddenly free from the traditional confines 

of class, caste, gender and more—is able to confront her past 

and reinvent herself. Of course, the seductive pull of modernity 

does not come without a dark side, and these inherent dangers 

threaten Anjali’s transformation at every turn.

On the night of the “Rocket Richard Riot” in 1955, the legendary 

Cartier Dagger is stolen from its protective glass 

case in Montreal’s imposing Sun Life Building. The dagger, 

which once belonged to the explorer Jacques Cartier, has been 

on loan to Clarence Campbell, the controversial president of 

the NHL. Many believe the dagger gives whoever possesses it 

mystical powers; as a result, its journey through history is as 

spectacular as it is bloodstained. On the night of its theft, a man 

is found murdered in a nearby park, with a dagger wound to his 

heart. Detective Armand Touton quickly recognizes the dead 

man as his friend and informer Roger Clement, a local hoodlum. 

But who murdered him, and why? 

Thirteen years later, Pierre Elliott Trudeau is prime minister 

and the separatist movement is gaining momentum in Quebec. 

The case is still unsolved. Touton asks Émile Cinq-Mars, a 

young constable, to continue the investigation, warning him to 

proceed with caution. Wanting to impress Touton, Cinq-Mars 

works quickly to wrap his mind around this puzzling case.

The Chimps of 

Fauna Sanctuary 

A True Story of Resilience and Recovery 

NATURE • $29.99 CL

editor: Jim Gifford • publicist: Emma Ingram 

In 1997 Gloria Grow started a sanctuary for chimps retired 

from biomedical research on her farm outside Montreal. For 

the indomitable Gloria, caring for thirteen great apes is like 

presiding over a maximum security prison, a Zen sanctuary 

and an old folks’ home all rolled into one. But she is first and 

foremost creating a refuge for her troubled charges—a place 

where they can recover and begin to trust humans again. 

Hoping to win some of this trust, journalist Andrew 

Westoll spent months at Fauna Sanctuary as a volunteer, and in 

this book he vividly recounts his time in the chimp house and 

the histories of its residents. He arrives with dreams of striking 

up an immediate friendship with the legendary Tom, the 

wise face of The Great Ape Protection Act, but Tom seems all 

too content to ignore him. Gradually, though, old man Tommie 

and the rest of the “troop” begin to warm towards Westoll as he 

learns the routines of life at the farm and realizes just how far 

the chimps have come. 

Brimming with empathy and winning stories of Gloria 

and her charges, The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary is an absorbing, 

big-hearted book that grapples with questions of just what 

we owe to the animals who are our nearest genetic relations. 

“Illustrates the triumph of the wild spirit and offers surprising 

hope that the human animal might yet be redeemed. 

Think of Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation and J.M. Coetzee’s 

The Lives of Animals, and you’ll have some idea of 

what it is you hold in your hands. It has been a long time 

since any author has inspired me to such extremes of 

compassion and humility.”

Millions of people around the world have convinced 

themselves that the actual perpetrators of 9/11 were not 

al-Qaeda terrorists but elements within the U.S. government 

seeking a pretext to launch wars abroad and enact draconian 

laws at home. These “9/11 Truthers” are not alone. They are part 

of a vast conspiracist subculture that is spreading like wildfire 

and beginning to influence mainstream politics. For two years, 

Canadian journalist Jonathan Kay has been researching the underground 

world of conspiracy theorists by immersing himself 

in their ranks. He has attended their conventions, infiltrated 

their Internet discussion boards, become a connoisseur of their 

propaganda videos, and engaged them in in-depth, revealing 

interviews. While many individual conspiracy theories seem 

harmless, even amusing, the phenomenon is doing real damage 

to the unity and health of North American society. 

Since the JFK assassination, conspiracy thinking has proliferated, 

and the Internet has fostered the growth of numerous 

alternate conceptual worlds in which traditional media and 

academia have no authority. 9/11 was a death blow to the older 

consensual view of reality, and as a result, North Americans no 

longer inhabit one cognitive universe. What this means for the 

future of politics, and for our society at large, is at the heart of 

Among the Truthers. 

JONATHAN KAY is a managing editor of Canada’s National 

Post newspaper, a weekly columnist on the newspaper’s op-ed 

page and a regular blogger on the Post’s website. In addition, 

he is a frequent contributor to Commentary Magazine, the New 

York Post and Reader’s Digest. His freelance articles have appeared 

in numerous publications including Harper’s Magazine, 

The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek and The 

New York Times. He has been awarded two National Newspaper 

Awards. His first book, The Volunteer, co-authored with 

Michael Ross, became a Top 10 bestseller in 2007.

One Midsummer’s Eve, 2008, three people, each on the run 

from a failed relationship, are trapped in San Francisco’s 

Buena Vista Park on their way to a party. And on this night, 

something awful is happening in the faerie kingdom. In a fit 

of sadness over the end of her marriage and the death of her 

adopted son, Titania has set loose an ancient menace, and the 

chaos that ensues upends and threatens the lives of mortals and 

immortals alike. The three heartbroken lovers become lost in 

the park, under the park and within the memories of the people 

they lost or drove away, and each will remember through the 

course of the night that this is not the first time their lives have 

been touched by magic. Suffering an all-too-human despair, 

and in thrall to an old enemy, Titania puts all the resources of 

her kingdom at the disposal of a homeless man who thinks he 

can bring down the sinister mayor of San Francisco by staging 

a musical production of Soylent Green. Before the night ends 

the mortals are caught, the show is staged and Titania discovers, 

at great cost, a way to undo the menace she’s set free, if not 

to undo her grief.

From the day in 1907 that eleven-year-old Riley Purefoy 

meets Nadine Waveney, he takes in the difference between 

their two families—his, working class; hers, posh and 

artistic—and vows to make himself worthy of the lovely 

Nadine’s affections. 

Nadine’s mother has other ideas for her daughter. Though 

she tolerates Riley as a young boy, nearly a decade later she attempts 

to stop the budding romance between the two teenagers. 

Angry and humiliated, Riley enlists at the nearest recruiting 

station, and reports for training the very next day. 

While Riley and his commanding officer, Peter Locke, fight 

for their country and their survival in the trenches of Flanders, 

their loved ones await their return. Peter’s wife, Julia, undertakes 

a daily ritual to prepare for her beloved husband’s homecoming. 

Peter’s cousin Rose, with all hope of marriage marching 

off to war, becomes a nurse at the nearby Queen’s Hospital. 

Nadine and Riley’s bond is tested by a terrible injury, and 

even more so by the ambitious yet imperfect rehabilitation 

that follows.

During a notorious career with the Detroit Red Wings and 

the Chicago Blackhawks, Bob Probert racked up points, 

penalty minutes and bar bills, establishing himself as one of 

the most feared enforcers in the history of the NHL. On the 

ice, he took on the toughest guys of his era. Off the ice, Probert 

played hard, too. Over his pro career, he went through ten stays 

in rehab, two NHL suspensions, a jail sentence and a near-fatal 

motorcycle crash. 

When he died unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 5, 

2010, at the age of forty-five, he was hard at work on his memoir 

with Kirstie McLellan Day, co-author with Theo Fleury of 

the blockbuster Playing with Fire. Tough Guy is a gripping journey, 

full of jaw-dropping stories about Bob’s on-ice battles and 

his reckless off-ice encounters with drugs, alcohol, police and 

the NHL. With his unique sense of humour, Probert gives us a 

first-hand account of his adrenalin-fuelled life as the toughest 

bare-knuckle fighter in the NHL. 

“Bobby Probert was a beauty. He was not just a teammate, 

he was my buddy. As tough as he was on the ice, off the 

ice he was a humble guy with a great sense of humour. I’m 

glad he got this chance to tell his story.”

For centuries, stories of pirates have captured the imagination 

of people everywhere. But the recent gangs of daring, 

ragtag pirates off the coast of Somalia, hijacking huge 

ships owned by international conglomerates, have brought the 

scourge of piracy into the modern era. The world sees nothing 

but opportunistic bands of local bandits, but Jay Bahadur, the 

only Western journalist to venture so deeply into this world, 

truly sees how it operates. 

In Deadly Waters, Bahadur ventures to Puntland, a region 

in northeastern Somalia, and tells of the pirates’ lives 

beyond the attack skiffs: how they spend their money, how 

they conduct business, how they think and why they risk their 

lives in often suicidal missions. In the remote pirate havens of 

Somalia, Bahadur sits down and talks with some of the pirates, 

their cheeks bulging with khat (the local drug of choice), their 

cellphones ringing as the men conduct their business. Bahadur 

also talks to some of the security personnel tasked with combatting 

piracy, as well as with former pirate hostages who lived 

on their ships for months while awaiting news of a ransom. 

Deadly Waters is a major first book by a young freelance 

journalist who talks his way into one of the world’s most dangerous 

places. 

JAY BAHADUR has written for The Times (London), The 

Financial Post, The Globe and Mail and The New York Times. 

He has appeared as a guest on BBC 4’s Today program, as well 

as on the BBC World Service’s Outlook and Newshour. A former 

advisor to the U.S. State Department, he has also worked 

as a journalist for CBS News. Bahadur lives in Toronto.

London, 1857: meet Jaf, a young street urchin who survives 

an encounter with an escaped tiger in the city’s East End 

and stumbles into a job for its owner, Mr. Jamrach, a collector 

and seller of wild animals. 

Commissioned by Jamrach to find and collect a halfmythical 

dragon, Jaf joins a whaling ship headed south and 

begins a wonder-filled voyage of discovery. But when disaster 

befalls the crew, Jaf ’s journey becomes a desperate survival 

tale that pushes love, friendship and humanity to their outermost 

limits. 

Beautifully written and utterly spellbinding, Jamrach’s 

Menagerie conjures the smells, sights and flavours of the nineteenth 

century, from the squalor of Victorian London to the 

lush islands of the Dutch East Indies. A great, salty, historical 

adventure, with an extraordinary story of love and sacrifice at 

its core, this book is an astonishing literary achievement. 

“Birch is a naturally literary writer who can, with a simple 

image, evoke the deepest emotion.”

“Carol Birch’s fiction continues to stretch bodies and minds 

to breaking point. . . . Marvellous and terrifying.”

CAROL BIRCH is the author of nine previous novels; she won 

the David Higham Award for Life in the Palace and the Geoffrey 

Faber Memorial Prize for The Fog Line. She was longlisted for 

the Man Booker Prize in 2003 for Turn Again Home. She has 

written for The Independent, The Times Literary Supplement,

lives in Lancashire, England, with her husband and sons. 




Judy Lohden is your above-average sixteen-year-old—sarcastic 

and vulnerable, talented and uncertain, full of big 

dreams for a big future. With a singing voice that can shake 

an auditorium, she should be the star of Darcy Academy, the 

local performing-arts high school. So why is a girl this promising 

hiding out in a seedy motel room on the edge of town? 

The fact that the national media is on her trail after a controversy 

that might bring down the whole school could have 

something to do with it. And that scandal has something— 

but not everything—to do with the fact that Judy is three feet, 

nine inches tall. 

Rachel DeWoskin remembers everything about high 

school: the auditions (painful), the parents (hovering), the dissection 

projects (compelling), the friends (outcasts), the boys 

(crushable) and the girls (complicated), and she lays it all out 

with a wit and wistfulness that is half Holden Caulfield, half 

Lee Fiora, Prep’s ironic heroine. Big Girl Small is a scathingly 

funny and moving book about dreams and reality, at once light 

on its feet and unwaveringly serious. 

praise for repeat after me 

“Rachel DeWoskin is that rarest of things: a real writer. She 

is musical and smart, serious and fun, modern and timeless. 

Repeat After Me is a masterwork—a hilarious, sad,

A lost masterpiece of American fiction 

austin wright 

Tony and Susan 

A Novel 





other rights: Atlantic Books 

sponsoring editor: Lorissa Sengara • publicist: Meghan Paton 

Fifteen years ago, Susan Morrow left her first husband, 

Edward Sheffield. One day, comfortable in her home and 

her second marriage, she receives, entirely out of the blue, a 

parcel containing the manuscript of her ex-husband’s first 

novel. He writes asking her to read the book; she was always his 

best critic, he says. 

As Susan reads, she is drawn into the fictional life of his 

character Tony Hastings, a math professor driving his family 

to their summer house in Maine. As the Hastings family’s ordinary, 

civilized lives are disastrously, violently sent off course, 

Susan is plunged into the past, forced to confront the darkness 

that inhabits her, and driven to name the fear that gnaws at her 

future and will change her life. 

Tony and Susan is a dazzling achievement: simultaneously 

a riveting portrayal of the experience of reading and a pageturning 

thriller, written in startlingly arresting prose. It is also 

a novel about fear and regret, revenge and aging, marriage and 

creativity. 

“An excellent book: gripping, well-written, structurally interesting. 

. . . Tony and Susan is a fine achievement, and its 

reappearance is to be welcomed.” 

the observer 

“Compelling . . . mesmerizing . . . absolutely irresistible.”

infinitely superior to most thrillers because they play for 

keeps. . . . Read it at your peril—in daylight, preferably.”

They survived the Bangladesh war of independence, but 

now that the fever of revolution has passed, siblings Maya 

and Sohail Haque must face the challenges of peace. While 

Maya embraces her new life, training to become a doctor, her 

brother, Sohail, wrestles with troubling memories of the war. 

Taking solace in his faith, he slowly sheds his identity as a young 

political leader to become a devout Muslim. 

Stubbornly refusing to accept her brother’s transformation, 

Maya leaves her childhood home and travels deep into 

the heart of the country. When she returns years later, she enters 

the cloistered world Sohail has created, where she meets 

and grows to love his son, Zaid. Soon she begins to understand 

the power of her brother’s message and rekindles her long-held 

hope of reconciliation. But when Sohail sends Zaid to a madrasa 

on a remote river island, Maya is forced to decide where 

her loyalties ultimately lie.

In 1950s Sudan, the powerful Abuzeid dynasty has amassed 

a fortune through their trading firm with Mahmoud Bey at 

its helm. But when Mahmoud’s son, Nur, suffers a debilitating 

accident, the family is suddenly divided in the face of an 

uncertain future. 

As British rule nears its end, Sudan is torn between modernizing 

influences and the call of traditions past—a conflict 

reflected in Mahmoud’s two wives: Nabilah, who longs to escape 

the dust of “backward-looking” Sudan, and Waheeba, who 

lives traditionally within the confines of her open-air kitchen. 

It is not until Nur begins to assert himself outside the strict 

cultural limits that both his own spirit and the frayed bonds of 

his family can begin to mend. 

This sweeping tale by the IMPAC and Orange Prize– 

nominated writer is one of the most accomplished and evocative 

portraits ever written about Sudanese society at the time 

of independence. 

“Her breakthrough novel. . . . Real, compelling and 

ultimately moving. . . . Highly recommended for readers 

who enjoy family sagas set against a political backdrop.”

It’s a rainy December in 1985, and life on the tiny island of 

Guernsey has just become a lot more difficult for fifteenyear-old 

bookworm Cat Rozier. She’s gone from model pupil 

to murderer, having just killed her best friend, the beautiful 

and popular Nicolette. But given Nic’s unforgivable betrayal of 

their friendship, can we blame her? 

Twenty years earlier, Cat’s uncle, Charlie Rozier, also needs 

to make a confession. He believes that he was betrayed by his 

best friend during the Nazi occupation of the island, and now 

he wants the truth to come out. Through audio recordings 

Charlie left behind before his death and letters written by Cat’s 

father, Émile, we piece together Charlie’s clandestine wartime 

adventures and the lies buried deep in the island and within 

one family. 

On a small island, you’d think there could be no secrets, 

but they are everywhere—and they are inescapable. Captivating, 

moving and full of dark humour, The Book of Lies takes us 

on a lively journey with two unreliable narrators whose unique 

voices we will not easily forget.

Ladies and Gentlemen—the eagerly awaited collection of 

short stories by Adam Ross, whose stunning debut novel, 

Mr. Peanut, received wide international acclaim. In a New York 

Times Book Review cover story, Scott Turow called Ross an “author 

of prodigious talent,” while New York Times critic Michiko 

Kakutani dubbed him “a literary gymnast . . . [and] a sorcerer 

with words” with “David Foster Wallace–like descriptive powers.” 

Set in New York, Virginia and Nashville, Ladies and Gentlemen 

is about our constant struggle to resist the temptation of 

cruelty and the power of stories we tell to save or doom us, and 

it confirms the author’s wide-ranging talent, leaving no reader 

unimpressed. 

praise for mr. peanut 

“Audaciously assured. . . . Ross pulls off some alarmingly 

good writing.” 


“An ambitious and well-crafted noir that manages to humanise 

its characters while fashioning their stories into a 

gripping page-turner. Ross’s depiction of love and hatred, 

and the conflicted ways we manifest these feelings, is 

both sensitive and fearless.”

Shakespeare is all around us. From nightclubs to Broadway 

musicals, in voting booths in the American South and the 

trees of Central Park—William Shakespeare’s literary power 

is so intense and widespread that it intrudes into the material 

world. Esquire columnist Stephen Marche takes us on a delightful 

tour through the continuous stream of Shakespeare’s influence, 

summoning up the Bard in the most unexpected places: 

• In 1890, as part of a plan to introduce every bird mentioned 

by Shakespeare to North America, Eugene Shieffelin 

imported and released a bunch of pesky starlings into New 

York’s Central Park. 

• The Nazi Party issued a pamphlet entitled “Shakespeare—a 

Germanic Writer,” and in 1936 there were more productions 

of Shakespeare in Germany than in the rest of the world 

combined. 

• Shakespeare coined approximately 1,700 words, including 

lacklustre, fashionable, auspicious, bandit, glow, hush, dawn, 

gnarled, hobnob, traditional, and the name Jessica. 

• In 1930, Paul Robeson became the first black actor to play 

the part of Othello in England after being rejected for the 

role in the United States Robeson famously said of his performance, 

“Othello has made me free.” 

STEPHEN MARCHE is a novelist who also writes for newspapers 

and magazines. He currently writes a monthly column 

for Esquire magazine about culture. Ten years ago, he chose 

Shakespeare as the subject of his Ph.D. because, he believed, 

Shakespeare would never bore him. He was correct. The best 

gig he ever had was as a professor of Renaissance drama at The 

City College of New York, which he quit in 2007 to write full time. 

He lives in Toronto. Visit him online at www.stephenmarche.com.

Life, like art, rarely goes according to plan. No one knows 

that better than master art restorer and international assassin 

Gabriel Allon. A study in chiaroscuro, Gabriel is intimately 

familiar with the desire to create—and destroy. A reclusive 

man with a deep appreciation for all that is beautiful, he is 

also an angel of vengeance, solid and unyielding, who will go 

anywhere in the hunt for terrorists, criminals and killers, and 

stop at nothing to see justice done. 

Told in seductive prose and filled with the remarkable 

twists and turns fans have come to expect, Gabriel Allon’s newest 

adventure finds him in the United States at the center of 

fast-paced, swirling intrigue. In a time of political and economic 

volatility, deception is everywhere, identities are disguised, 

and Allon again must use his expertise to eliminate a dangerous 

threat that could push international tensions past the breaking 

point.

How many times have you heard that people with autism 

lack creativity? That they reject affection or suffer from 

mental retardation? As the number of children diagnosed with 

autism surges, researchers and educators are racing to define 

the amorphous nature of this spectrum disorder and its wide 

range of symptoms. But in trying to characterize this widely 

varying group, people often perpetuate a host of limiting and 

potentially damaging misconceptions in the media, in academic 

journals and even in textbooks. These myths don’t hold 

up when examined, and they don’t reflect Jonathan Alderson’s 

experience working with more than 2,000 children and families 

over two decades. 

Provocative and meticulously researched, Challenging the 

Myths of Autism looks at the most prevalent fallacies, explains 

how they developed, examines why dispelling them matters 

and, most importantly, sets out a new understanding that will 

change the way parents and professionals view autism. With 

examples from his own practice, Alderson charts a whole new 

realm of possibilities for treatment and research. 

Imagine if we adopted a new belief, that the child 

with autism has an imagination. We might hear 

their words and sounds in a different way. We 

might accept their wordplay, and, by delighting in 

it, encourage even more. The child might then try 

new words and share them with you because you 

were accepting and enjoying their sounds. A shift 

in belief can dramatically change both your behaviour 

and theirs.

Börje Salming is known for being a real tough guy. One 

of the first European hockey players to star in the NHL, 

he boasted a seventeen-year career with the Toronto Maple 

Leafs and earned a reputation as one of the strongest and 

best-respected defencemen in the game. He became known 

as “The King.” 

Back in Sweden, Salming is still known for his defensive 

skills, but even more for his grill skills. There, he’s known as 

“the King of the Barbecue.” 

Grilling with Salming follows the King as he tackles steaks, 

fish, veggies and even desserts. Not only does he share his favourite 

recipes with us, he also talks food and hockey memories, 

from both Sweden and Canada. He is just as proud of his 

Lapp heritage as he is of his status as an ice-hockey legend, and 

this book combines both northern Swedish and North American 

cultures, spiced with a good dose of Salming’s unrivalled 

fighting spirit. As he puts it: “One thing I learned on the ice was, 

he who dares, wins. The same thing applies to barbecue. The 

more you barbecue, the braver you get!” For hockey and BBQ 

fans, this book scores. 

ANDERS BÖRJE SALMING (born April 17,1951, in Kiruna, 

Norrbotten County, Sweden), nicknamed “The King,” is a retired 

Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman of Saami extraction. 

Known best for his years as a Leaf, Salming was one of 

the premier defencemen of his era. He was inducted into the 

Hockey Hall of Fame in 1996. Salming is significant to the history 

of the National Hockey League, as he was one of the first 

European players to make an impact in the league, thus paving 

the way for other players from outside North America to play in 

the NHL. He lives in Sweden with his extended family.

Her mother fed four hungry kids delicious, simple food 

every day; they always sat at the table, and they always had 

dessert. It’s also where they carved pumpkins, pulled out first 

teeth, learned to tie shoes, and stuck together as a large and 

boisterous family over yummy food. In Trish’s grandmother’s

feeding her three children and husband new recipes, and tried 

and true favourites from her mother and grandmother. It’s all 

about preserving the family table, no matter how busy our lives

new favourites such as Miami-Style Beef Short Ribs and Mock 

Butter Chicken. Interspersed are loads of gorgeous photos of

us that same great food faster, without compromising flavour.

To five-year-old Jack, Room is the world. . . . It’s where he 

was born. It’s where he and Ma eat and sleep and play and 

learn. There are endless wonders that let loose Jack’s imagination—the 

snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells; 

the imaginary world projected through the TV; the coziness of 

Wardrobe beneath Ma’s clothes, where she tucks him in safely 

at night, in case Old Nick comes. 

Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it’s the prison where 

she’s been held since she was nineteen—for seven long years. 

Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for 

him in that eleven-by-eleven foot space. But Jack’s curiosity is 

building alongside Ma’s own desperation, and she knows that 

Room cannot contain either indefinitely. . . . Told in the inventive, 

funny and poignant voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of 

resilience—and a powerful story of a mother and son whose 

love lets them survive the impossible. 

“One of the most affecting and subtly profound novels 

of the year.”

“Daring, subtle. . . . What gives the novel its startling authenticity

publicist: Meghan Paton 

From the jungles of South America to the deserts of Arizona, 

one thing remains consistent: bees are disappearing. 

A world without bees would be much less colourful, with 

fewer flowers. But that’s not all—bees are responsible for up 

to one-third of our food supply, and the consequences of not 

taking action to protect them are frightening. While the media 

focuses on colony-collapse disorder and the threats to honey 

bees specifically, the real danger is much greater: all bees are at 

risk, whether it be from loss of habitat, pesticide use or disease, 

among other factors. And because of the integral role these insects 

play in the ecology of our planet, we may be at risk as well. 

In Keeping the Bees, Laurence Packer, a melittologist whose 

life revolves around bees, debunks many myths about these 

creatures and takes us behind the scenes with scientists around 

the world who are working to save these fascinating creatures 

before it’s too late. 

“Laurence Packer’s wonderful book about the world of bees 

offers the sheer delight of learning about these diverse 

animals, their basic biology and the role they play in ecosystems. 

Keeping the Bees revels in the lives of bees but 

clearly shows how much more we have yet to learn and 

therefore makes a powerful case for being far more cautious 

in the way we exploit the earth. A world without bees 

would be a world without people.” 

david suzuki 

LAURENCE PACKER obtained his B.A. in zoology from the 

University of Oxford and a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. 

Since 1988, he has been at York University, where he is currently 

a professor of biology. Keeping the Bees was the first 

selection of the David Suzuki Book Club.

Seven Good Reasons 

Not to Be Good 

A Novel 





other rights: The Cooke Agency 

editor: Jennifer Lambert • publicist: Meghan Paton 

Seven Good Reasons Not to Be Good opens with a postcard 

from forty-something Matt to his oldest friend Zane. 

Zane is dying, but maybe he doesn’t need to be. Matt has to 

do something about it. And that’s not Matt’s only problem. 

His father is disappearing into dementia and his marriage is in 

tatters. It seems the oft-postponed trip from Vancouver to Toronto 

is now critical—if Matt is to save his friend, say goodbye 

to his father and perhaps find something of himself he lost so 

long ago. 

In Seven Good Reasons Not to Be Good, John Gould treats 

mortality, morality and modernity with equal measures of reverence, 

wit and sympathy. 

“John Gould delivers punch after emotional punch, pulling 

readers into his characters’ manic and often tragic lives.” 

quill & quire 

“There is a complex plot at the heart of Seven Good Reasons 

Not to Be Good, but Gould has filled the pages with 

such familiar-feeling characters that the story flows along 

almost effortlessly. Seven Good Reasons Not to Be Good 

proves that John Gould is not just a great short story 

writer, he is simply a great writer.”

Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Tété is the 

daughter of an African mother she never knew and one 

of the white sailors who brought her into bondage. Though her 

childhood is one of brutality and fear, Tété finds solace in the 

traditional rhythms of African drums and the voodoo loas she 

discovers through her fellow slaves. 

When twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the 

island in 1770, it’s with dreams of financial success in his mind. 

But running his father’s plantation is neither glamorous nor 

easy. It will be eight years before he brings home a bride, the 

beautiful Eugenia Garcia del Solar—but marriage, too, proves 

more difficult than he imagined. And Valmorain remains dependent 

on the services of his teenaged slave. 

Against the merciless backdrop of sugar cane fields, the 

lives of Tété and Valmorain grow ever more intertwined. Spanning 

four decades, Island Beneath the Sea is the moving story 

of one woman’s determination to find love amid loss, to offer 

humanity though her own has been so battered, and to forge 

her own identity in the cruelest of circumstances. 

“Allende offers gripping and unforgettable images. . . . 

Fear and suspense permeate every page.”

an up-and-coming race car driver. Now in his twilight years,

Television presenter and man-about-town Toby Marshall 

thinks he has it all. But in the days after his father has a 

startling accident, Toby makes a series of very bad decisions 

that throw his life into disarray. Jobless, friendless and suddenly 

single, Toby does the worst thing a man of his generation can 

do: he moves into the basement of his parents’ suburban bungalow. 

Toby feels he has hit rock bottom. But his father’s increasingly 

erratic behaviour, funny and terrifying at once, signals 

more profound challenges. Toby’s chance encounter with an 

unstable young francophone mother who abandons her twoyear-old 

son to Toby’s care brings actual responsibility for the 

first time. Soon he is dealing with death, diapers and, ultimately, 

true love. Toby at last begins to climb out of the hole that is his 

life—muddy, broke, bruised, heartbroken—but finally, a man. 

“Displays more sophistication, wit and insight than the majority

The Lovers 

A Novel 







Twenty-eight years ago, Peter and Yvonne honeymooned in 

the beautiful coastal village of Datça, Turkey. Now Yvonne 

is a widow, her twin children grown. Hoping to immerse herself 

in memories of a happier time—as well as sand and sea— 

Yvonne returns to Datça. But her plans for a restorative week in 

Turkey are quickly complicated. Instead of comforting her, her 

memories begin to trouble her. Her vacation rental’s landlord 

and his bold, intriguing wife—who share a curious marital arrangement—become 

constant uninvited visitors, in and out of 

the house. 

Overwhelmed by the past and unexpectedly dislocated by 

the environment, Yvonne clings to a newfound friendship with 

Ahmet, a local boy who makes his living as a shell collector. 

With Ahmet as her guide, Yvonne gains new insight into the 

lives of her own adult children, and she finally begins to enjoy 

the shimmering sea and relaxed pace of the Turkish coast. But a 

devastating accident upends her delicate peace and throws her 

life into chaos—and her sense of self into turmoil. 

With the crystalline voice and psychological nuance for 

which her work has been so celebrated, Vendela Vida has crafted 

another unforgettable heroine in a stunningly beautiful and 

mysterious landscape.

journeys . . . [and] hopefully, we shed some of our ignorance

“ 

magine a cross between The Da Vinci Code, Twilight and 

Shakespeare . . . ” (National Post) When Julie Jacobs inherits 

a key to a safety deposit box in Siena, Italy, she is told it 

will lead her to an old family treasure. Soon she is launched 

on a winding and perilous journey into the history of her ancestor 

Giulietta, whose legendary love for a young man named 

Romeo rocked the foundations of medieval Siena. As Julie 

crosses paths with the descendants of the families involved in 

Shakespeare’s unforgettable blood feud, she begins to realize 

that the notorious curse—“A plague on both your houses!”—is 

still at work, and that she is the next target. It seems that the 

only one who can save Julie from her fate is Romeo—but where 

is he? 

Full of delicious thrills, sleeping potions, medieval wedding 

rituals, curses, the glorious Italian countryside, sibling rivalries 

and secret processions, Juliet is at heart an epic romance 

that proves love is strong enough to conquer even death. 

“Juliet is one of those rare novels that has it all. . . . 

Anne Fortier casts a new light on one of history’s greatest 

stories of passion. I was swept away.”

After thirteen years of marriage, David Pepin still deeply 

loves his wife, Alice—yet he obsessively contemplates her 

demise. Soon she is dead, and David is both deeply distraught 

and the prime suspect. 

The detectives investigating Alice’s suspicious death have 

plenty of experience with marital enigmas: Ward Hastroll and 

his wife are happily married, until she inexplicably becomes 

voluntarily bedridden; and Sam Sheppard is especially sensitive 

to marital guilt, having decades before been convicted and 

then exonerated of the brutal murder of his wife. 

These interlocking dramas pose a host of arresting questions. 

Is it possible to know anyone completely? Are murder 

and marriage two sides of the same coin? And what, in the end, 

is the truth about love? 

“It’s the sort of novel where every sentence is significant . . . 

but it’s also a page-turner of the highest order.”

Trotsky works for a neuromarketing company that scans 

his brain to test new products. Only his name isn’t really 

Trotsky—that’s a code name he’s forced to use at work. And 

the products aren’t real—they’re just hologram prototypes. 

Trapped in an increasingly unreal world that leaves him haunted 

by hallucinations, Trotsky goes in search of something genuine. 

Instead, he finds Holiday, a wannabe actress who fakes accidents 

for insurance settlements but who dreams of stardom. 

She leads him into an underground society of anti-corporate 

activists and into a series of dangerous encounters, one of 

which turns deadly. Discovered by the media, they are dubbed 

the Warhol Gang. At first Holiday and Trotsky embrace their 

notoriety and fame, but they’re forced to confront their own 

desires and needs—and differences—when the Warhol Gang 

takes on a life of its own and the body count rises. 

The Warhol Gang is a black comedy for anyone who’s ever 

been trapped in an endless mall or fantasized about taking revenge 

on everyone in the office. 

“A pop culture treasure trove. . . . A fast-paced, even 

addictive read. . . . An entertainingly bizarre futuristic

Noah’s Turn is the darkly humorous story of Noah Douglas, 

a failed television writer who is intensely jealous of 

a more successful friend. Jobless, wifeless, Noah drifts through 

the cold winter, alternately drinking, visiting an elderly aunt 

whom he hopes will die and leave him money, and sleeping 

with whomever will have him. But it isn’t until Noah finds 

himself at a pivotal moment of envy that he crosses the line 

between humanity and depravity and murders his successful 

friend with a machete. Noah must deal with the mental anguish 

and moral dilemmas—and surprising lack of remorse—over 

the murder, for which he seems not to be a suspect. 

Well-paced, funny, with Finkleman’s trademark sharp observations 

on vanity and hubris, Noah’s Turn is a short masterpiece. 

“One of the successes of this darkly comic novel is that 

despite Noah’s failures as a human being, we’re more than 

happy to stick around and see what happens to him.”

Ice Lake 

A Novel 


FICTION/THRILLER • $13.99 TPB 






Lured to a frozen lake, Montreal detective Émile Cinq-Mars

murder—and that this is about to get very personal. In this

the difference between would-be friends and deadly enemies— 

before it’s too late. 

“One of the best series in crime fiction.”

Henry Tudor was not born to the throne of England: both 

violence and his marriage to Elizabeth of York, daughter 

and direct heir of King Edward IV, helped him secure the 

throne for himself and for generations to come. Though Henry 

and Elizabeth’s union was born from political necessity, it 

became a love story that led to seven children as well as both 

heartbreak and happiness. 

Mary, Queen of France 







Henry VIII, locked in a political showdown with France,

Louis dies two years later, Mary must act quickly to be with the 

man she loves. Mary and Charles devise a scheme H A R P E R to outwit C O L L I the N S

The Odds (Boney, Itchy and Squeak) have vanquished their 

mortal enemy, Larry Harry, and his two sidekicks, but 

that doesn’t stop these dastardly bullies from trying to compete 

against Squeak in a radio-controlled airplane contest. 

But everyone is blown away when the winner turns out to be 

a girl. And not just any girl. Samantha Moss is eerily similar to 

Squeak—she can match him note for scientific note. 

Itchy isn’t too keen on inviting her into the clubhouse, but 

it turns out the boys need all the help they can get: aliens have 

landed in their town . . . and have cloned the Odds! There are 

Itchys and Boneys and Squeaks all over the place. 

It takes all their imagination and scientific know-how to 

come up with a plan to stop the clones—but will it work?

Good girl, honour-roll lifer, Berkeley-bound, mildly neurotic, 

high strung twelfth grader Andrea Birch just wants 

a bit of privacy. Oh, and perhaps a bit more of a social life. Or 

just a life in general. But when your mom and dad are foster 

parents who can’t turn away a child, trying to carve out a little 

space for yourself while tending to the needs of everyone from 

twin toddlers to angst-ridden adolescents is nearly impossible. 

And then Joules Adams, daughter of internationally famous 

rock star Nigel Adams, jumps into Andrea’s car, setting off an 

improbable car chase and ending in detention. 

For Andrea, it’s the last straw. Why is it that Joules, breaker 

of all rules, living a life of luxury, gets off so easy? Why does she 

have everything, including a cool famous dad, and Andrea has 

nothing, not even her parents’ full attention? 

In a modern, hip take on the classic Freaky Friday story, 

Tish Cohen delivers a fresh look at wishing your life was someone 

else’s.

Young Gerald Wilkins’ life is in danger. The world’s most 

valuable diamond has been stolen and a guard lies unconscious 

in the British Museum, two sedative darts protruding 

from his backside—not something Gerald Wilkins knows or 

cares anything about. Not until he finds himself on a private 

luxury jet heading to London for the funeral of a great aunt he 

has never met. Not until he inherits her estate, worth twenty 

billion pounds. Not until he opens a bundle of envelopes she 

left behind. 

Was she murdered? Who stole the diamond? And what is 

the mysterious artifact that everyone seems to be searching for? 

With the help of the Valentine twins—the rat-fearing Sam 

and the gymnastic champ Ruby—Gerald’s got a mystery to 

solve. A mystery that will take him into secret passageways, a 

musty jumbled bookshop, an ancient crypt, the tower of a ruined 

church and a colossal cavern where the secret of a priceless 

treasure lies protected by deadly booby traps. 

The Billionaire’s Curse is an irresistible action story with 

an array of curious characters, some ancient folklore and an 

engrossing whodunit guaranteed to keep young and not-soyoung 

up late turning the pages. 

“Buy multiple copies and expect reserves for this title, 

which should appeal to fans of Blue Balliett’s The Calder 

Game (2008) and Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider series.”

It’s been two weeks since the events in the English countryside. 

Two weeks since the diamond casket was opened. Two 

weeks since Mason Green disappeared with an object that Gerald’s 

family had been keeping secret for centuries. And while 

everyone knows that Green will resurface again, no one knows 

what his next move will be. No one . . . except Gerald. 

Breaking into Green’s room at the Rattigan club, Gerald, 

Ruby and Sam discover that the diamond casket was actually 

one of three ancient boxes containing objects of great power. 

After our heroes accept an invitation from Mr. Gupta to visit 

India, they discover that it may be the resting place of the emerald 

casket. But India holds more than just the casket: it also has 

assassins bent on stopping them at all costs, a great city under 

the sea, and Alisha Gupta, who Ruby can’t stand, and Gerald 

and Sam can’t see enough of. 

Richard Newsome has crafted a sequel that more than 

delivers on the promise of the first book, and sets us up for a 

breathtaking conclusion. 

“The clever, intricate plot gathers and maintains a fast pace 

once the three friends set out for Delhi in Gerald’s corporate 

airbus. . . . Slapstick humour, verbal wit and a pervasive 

spirit of youthful exuberance make the story even 

more entertaining. Newsome writes lively dialogue and 

narrow escape scenes that make you hold your breath.”

the exact coordinates of its last sighting. They aren’t the only 

ones who know these coordinates: the beautiful and mysterious 

French agent Colette has been researching this mystery as

plunged into the icy sea. Then, he disappears from sight. Saved 

from certain death by a most unlikely rescuer, Modo discovers 

the truth behind the sea monster. But the Clockwork Guild is
