Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A priest charged with cleaning up church scandals finds his faith tested in this engrossing novel with the page-turning energy of a thriller (The Globe and Mail).Father Duncan MacAskill knows all the devious ways priests allow themselves to indulge their temptations. He's known as the Exorcist--an enforcer employed by his bishop to discipline wayward priests and suppress political scandals. He's also called upon to moderate the emotions of the victims--a task that increasingly wears away at his sense of justice and calling. When an impending public controversy arises, Duncan willingly goes to a country parish to avert the scandal. But this new parish is very near to where Duncan grew up and long nights in the rectory give him too much time to drink, and reflect, on his turbulent childhood.Teetering on loneliness and self-knowledge, Duncan meets a woman he thinks he might love. He also meets a boy who may have been a victim of a fellow priest Duncan was charged with disciplining years ago. As tragedy push him to the breaking point, Duncan discovers how hidden obsessions and guilty secrets either find their way into the light, or poison any chance we have for love and spiritual peace.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the Giller Prize-winning author of The Bishop's Man comes a bestselling classic childhood memoir, full of humour and heartache, set in Cape Breton Island Linden MacIntyre remembers vividly the day construction started on the causeway. September 15, 1952, was the day that Change--always for the better and always from away--arrived to link his small Cape Breton village with the wide world of the mainland. With its grand promises of jobs and riches and progress, the building of the Canso Causeway also became a potent personal icon for MacIntyre, the road that would bring him closer to the father who was always away. In a highly evocative memoir--at once a vibrant coming-of-age story, a portrait of a vanishing way of life and a luminous reflection on fathers and sons--MacIntyre fills his pages with vivid characters. From his grandmother, the Gaelic-speaking Peigeag, who, it was rumoured, had "special powers" that could both cure and curse, to Dan Rory, the father MacIntyre struggles to know and love, these are people who inhabit a time and a place that is on the brink of transformation. No one knows this more than MacIntyre, his narrative voice ringing true on every page, the voice of a young boy both mystified and captivated by the worlds he straddles. Shot through with humour and humanity, Causeway is an extraordinary book, a memoir that sets a new standard for the genre. &nbsp.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER Fascinating, infuriating, eloquent and cautionary. --Postmedia A Globe and Mail, CBC Books and Maclean's Book of the Year In the vein of Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm and Dead Wake comes an incredible true story of destruction and survival in Newfoundland by one of Canada's best-known writers On November 18, 1929, a tsunami struck Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula. Giant waves up to three storeys high hit the coast at a hundred kilometres per hour, flooding dozens of communities and washing entire houses out to sea. The most destructive earthquake-related event in Newfoundland's history, the disaster killed twenty-eight people and left hundreds more homeless or destitute. It took days for the outside world to find out about the death and damage caused by the tsunami, which forever changed the lives of the inhabitants of the fishing outports along the Burin Peninsula. Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning writer Linden MacIntyre was born near St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, one of the villages virtually destroyed by the tsunami. By the time of his birth, the cod-fishing industry lay in ruins and the village had become a mining town. MacIntyre's father, lured from Cape Breton to Newfoundland by a steady salary, worked in St. Lawrence in an underground mine that was later found to be radioactive. Hundreds of miners would die; hundreds more would struggle through shortened lives profoundly compromised by lung diseases ranging from silicosis and bronchitis to cancer. As MacIntyre says, though the tsunami killed twenty-eight people in 1929, it would claim hundreds if not thousands more in the decades to follow. And by the time the village returned to its roots and set up as a cod fishery once again, the stocks in the Grand Banks had plummeted and St. Lawrence found itself once again on the brink of disaster. Written in MacIntyre's trademark style, The Wake is a major new work by one of this country's top writers.…
