Alone A Love Story by Michelle Parise

“Alone: A Love Story is an emotional memoir of a life exploded — the end of a marriage, referred to as The Bomb — and the chaos that follows. But it's also about what blooms in the wreckage. Beautifully written, intimate, alive and accessible, the story flows like a conversation with your most interesting, wise and exciting friend.” — Emily Urquhart, author of Beyond the Pale

Never Forget: A Victor Lessard Thriller by Martin Michaud

Hailed as “Master of the Quebec thriller,” Martin Michaud makes his English language debut with Never Forget. As the bodies pile up in Montreal, and secrets start to emerge around a pivotal polital moment, it's up to tormented, rebellious police detective Lessard, and his partner Jacinthe Taillon, to track down the killer before they strike again.

I grew up in Scarborough during the 1950s. Then, it was a place of blowing grain and grazing cattle. Farm homes and barns lined the gravel roads, while hamlets and small villages clustered at the many crossroads, mill sites, and the railway stations. But poorly planned urban sprawl was creeping across the countryside and rural Scarborough was vanishing. As indeed was much of what we call today the GTA.
