Toronto: ECW Press, 1996 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Can Ed.. This unconventional biography of the woman who wrote Jalna and other chronicles of the Whiteoak family, approaches her life from multiple angles, including an interview with an old neighbour of the subject; critical commentary on her texts; photographs; conversations with the last living relatives of Mazo and her cousin, Caroline Clement; and a chronology and bibliography. This book draws on the research of earlier biographers, but Daniel Bratton broadens the scope of the discussion to include new areas of investigation. Besides archival research, he has reinterviewed subjects interviewed by previous biographers, and tracked down previously withheld information. He has also explored, as no one else has done, the geographical settings of Mazo"s life and fictions, looking at them from a new perspective. The real strength of this book, however, which gives it an importance beyond de la Roche studies and Canadian literature, is its…

Toronto: A.A. Knopf, 2005 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Canadian Edition. In 1872, the USS Polaris sailed for the Arctic on a mission to hoist the U.S. flag at the North Pole. But the expedition was a failure, and half of the party, nineteen men, women and children of different nationalities,were cast adrift on an ice floe off the coast of Ellesmere Island, where they endured six desperate months of starvation, bloodshed and other horrors. Afterlands, a profoundly moving and gripping book, takes characters drawn from history and transforms their experiences into an absorbing tale of unrequited love, unsettled scores and the high cost of loyalty..

Description:
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1983 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st.Canadian Edition. In this acclaimed collection of twelve stories, Margaret Atwood probes the territory of childhood memories and the casual cruelty men and women inflict upon each other and themselves. She looks behind the familiar world of family summers at remote lakes, ordinary lives, and unexpected loves, and she unearths profound truths. A melancholy, teenage love is swept away by a Canadian hurricane, while a tired, middle-aged affection is rekindled by the spectacle of rare Jamaican birds; a potter tries to come to terms with the group of poets who so smother her that she is driven into the arms of her accountant; and, in the title story, the Bluebeard legend is retold as an ironic tale of marital deception. Stark and scathing at times, humorous and compassionate at others, Bluebeard's Egg confirms once again Atwood's reputation as the pre-eminent chronicler of our times..

Toronto: Collins, 1987 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Canadian Edition.. [The fifth Charlie Salter mystery]. Although still the charming maritime province depicted in the Anne of Green Gables books, Prince Edward Island was no longer as tranquil. Greed, jealousy and rage had made it a setting for crime.

And on the scene was off-duty Toronto homicide detective Inspector Charlie Salter.On the island for a holiday with his family, was caught in a tug-of-war between in-laws looking for favors and female house guests looking for love. Since Salter much preferred looking for suspects, he found a mysterious fish man, a churlish chicken man, and a weasel of an art dealer. But would he see the fox in a hen house so close to home...and a clever killer about to strike again...?.
