NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER Fiction Book Award, Saskatchewan Book Awards | Longlisted for the City of Toronto Book Awards | Toronto Star Bestseller | Globe and Mail Bestseller Imagine you have only a pencil, paper, and your puzzle-solving skills to help end the war Gemma Sullivan lands a coveted office job in the summer of 1943, only to discover that she's been hired to work in a top-secret codebreaking office in an unsuspecting house along the lake in Mimico, Ontario. The 'Cottage' - run by the brilliant, eccentric Miss Fearing, who was trained at England's Bletchley Park - pulls Gemma in with its urgent lure and mystery. But along with this job comes a lifelong oath of secrecy. Gem can't tell anyone what she does for work, not even her elderly Aunt Wren, who has raised her since the age of three after the tragic death of her parents. Her aunt harbours of a deep love of crosswords and Tarot cards and an equally passionate hatred for war since the death of her own fiancée in WWI. The last thing she'd want for her niece is a job that involves anything to do with the war.

The Cottage codebreaking unit is small but determined, but in order to be successful, they must learn to work together.

The Paper Birds is a WWII love story that reveals the struggles and sacrifices of every day working women during the war and highlights the previously unknown codebreaking work undertaken by women in Canada during the war.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Crisp Day Closing on My Hand: The Poetry of M. Travis Lane is a collection of thirty-five of her best poems, selected with an introduction by Jeanette Lynes. An environmentalist, feminist, and peace activist, M. Travis Lane is known for witty and meticulously crafted poems that explore the elusive nature of ''home'' in both historical and present contexts and reflect on the identity of the woman poet and what it means to be a writer. Lane's poems exhibit impressive range and variety - long poems, short lyrics, serial poems, poems inspired by visual art - and are richly attentive to the landscapes, both urban and wild, of her New Brunswick home. They voice a sense of urgency with respect to ecological crises and war; her poetic attention fixes unwaveringly on the smallest pebble on the coast of Fundy but is equally attuned to global patterns of destructive domination. In her introduction ''As Opportunity for Grace, This Life May Serve'', editor Jeanette Lynes discusses how Lane's poetry integrates an ecopoetic vision with explorations of the artist's task of mapping her world. Lane's afterword reinforces her sense of the poet's project as a form of mystical play, a search for patterns in the ''unified disunities'' of all things.…
