Ryan Chandler, a successful but apathetic student, drops out of university and is soon leading a rudderless existence. Living at home, working a dead-end part-time job, but deeply dissatisfied, he accepts a rare opportunity to pursue his own research project. Soon installed in the German city of Karlsruhe, Ryan throws himself into his project, studying aspects of the first-ever international scientific meeting and focussing on the contributions to that meeting made by one of the delegates, a man who ultimately becomes a famous Italian chemist.Aspects of his project gradually draw Ryan's interest toward Italian unification, the Risorgimento, and some of the charismatic characters involved in that struggle. But he is also attracted to a 160-year-old mystery, and it soon becomes clear that he is not the only one interested. Ryan has stumbled across something treacherous, with unknown depths. A dark violence begins to engulf Ryan's friends, his family, and himself. In Rome, hints appear as to the nature of that violence, which reveals itself in Sicily and follows him back to Karlsruhe.Sicilian Refuge weaves past and present together in a story of personal growth, loss, and retribution.

In February 2004 the first of many U.S. soldiers came to Canada, seeking sanctuary after saying "no" to the war on Iraq. Unlike the Vietnam War when over 40,000 draft dodgers and military deserters successfully struggled to make Canada their home, this new generation of war resisters has been denied refuge by the Canadian government. Now they fight a battle they could not have predicted: to make their home in a country that publicly refused to join the Iraq War and that continues to deport them. Let Them Stay is a book of oral histories, public statements and personal narratives by these soldiers of conscience and their supporters. Collected together for the first time are the declarations of a dozen war resisters, alongside important documents in the legal and political campaign to prevent their deportation to military prison in the U.S. The anthology includes essays and updates by Rachel Brett, Lawrence Hill, Staughton Lynd, Alyssa Manning, Patricia Molloy, Noah Richler, Michelle Robidoux and Michael Valpy.

Newfoundland. 1942. Hitler’s U-boats ravage the Atlantic, sinking warships and merchant vessels alike. The world’s fate hinges on the fight for this ocean, and Germany has launched a daring operation that promises to tip the scales in its favour. The Allies's best chance is Frank Carousel, a Canadian military policeman, and Jack, a two-fisted, Newfoundland cop. Their adventure will take them from Newfoundland’s rocky coast to the alleys of its rapidly changing capital city, St. John’s. If these two don’t kill each other first, the free world may have a hope. 

A jaded young priest of a dwindling parish faces a man with a terrible secret. A lonely pensioner spends a Thanksgiving she'll never forget at a local diner, served by an acerbic waitress who has finally found her ticket out of there. A recent university graduate from small-town Ontario leaves home with nothing to his name but the hope of a new life in the city and places all his trust in a charismatic yet dubious life coach.Lyrical language, at times haunting, and moments of dry humour weave through the three novellas in this collection. Set in and around Ottawa, Ontario, these stories examine the peripheries of society. In the characters' journey toward the centre, they navigate flawed human relationships, seek to encounter a divine presence that is at once implicitly present yet dreadfully distant, and struggle to negotiate the conditions of redemption.

Richard Gould anticipait avec plaisir sa retraite à passer au moins une partie de son temps dans la maison ancestrale qu'il avait rénovée dans un village tranquille de l'Ontario et plus particulièrement à son projet principal : rendre ses lettres de noblesse aux ruines d'un moulin situé au bord d'une rivière.La découverte de deux vieux livres cachés dans les décombres allait donner du piquant à ce projet jusqu'à ce qu'il se produise une série d'événements d'abord bizarres, puis lugubres et bientôt mortels. Inexorablement, Richard est entraîné plus profondément dans une histoire dangereuse culminant en une rencontre meurtrière près de la ville historique de Heidelberg.
