HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI
HAM, PAUL
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed more than 100,000 instantly, mostly women,
children and the elderly. Many hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries later, or slowly
perished of radiation-related sickness. Ham describes the political manoeuvring and the scientific race to build
the new atomic weapon. He also gives powerful witness to its destruction through the eyes of eighty survivors,
from 12-year-olds forced to work in war factories to wives and children who faced it alone, reminding us that
these two cities were full of ordinary people who suddenly, out of a clear blue summer's sky, felt the sun fall on
their heads.

HONOUR
SCHLIESMANN, PAUL
A car is pulled from the Rideau Canal near Kingston, Ontario, containing the bodies of three girls-- sisters
Zainab, Sahar, and Geeti Shafia-- along with their presumed aunt, Rona Amir Mohammad. Later in the day, after
family members report the women missing, Kingston police become suspicious. The stories told by parents
Tooba Mohammad Yahya and Mohammad Shafia, and their eldest son, Hamed, don't match up with the rapidly
gathering evidence. Police begin to suspect that this is a quadruple "honour killing," planned and carried out to
wipe away the family's shame caused by the eldest girls. Two years later, Mohammad Shafia, Tooba
Mohammad Yahya, and Hamed Shafia are tried for the mass murders, while a shocked nation follows the case
until its gripping conclusion.
