  This Passover is starting to feel like the ten plagues might be coming back to haunt them before the weekend is over . . . one hilarious misstep after the next. 
   
   
   
  Gaby Fineberg just wants to get through Passover Seder without her "well meaning" family playing matchmaker. She needs a date, just for one simple meal—that includes singing, the history of her forefathers, and not one bit of yeast. The hot guy at her gym would be perfect. He probably hates bread, anyway, with a body like that. But when she finally works up the nerve to ask him . . . he doesn't hear a word she said. 
   
   
   
  Levi Miller is deaf and happily single. Initially, he doesn't know why this beautiful woman is talking to him, but it's clear she needs help—and suddenly so does he. In a very complicated situation, Levi finds a simple solution. Gaby will pretend to be his new girlfriend to bail him out, and he'll return the favor. But he didn't bargain for a family dinner quite like this one . . .

  Her fiancé left her at the altar. Now, his best friend is her boss. 
   
   
   
  Addison's life turned upside down when her fiancé took off minutes before their wedding. His best man Dennis was left as the messenger, and she thought it would be the last she saw of him, too. She has to find a new place to live, new friends, a new job and if her best friend has any say, a new man. When Dennis suddenly fits at least two of those categories, he's not so off-limits anymore. 
   
   
   
  Dennis' life centers around work, but he's running on fumes. Reluctantly, he agrees to hire an assistant but it's proving to be more hassle than help. 
   
   
   
  When Addison walks through the doors, he knows he's in trouble. Not only is she overqualified, she's nearly perfect in every way. 
   
   
   
  He refuses to mix business and pleasure. She needs to live a little. He's come to her rescue more than once and she's the breath of fresh air he's needed for years. 
   
   
   
  Can they find a balance between their personal connection and their work relationship before everything falls apart?

  “An almost perfect novel” — Rolling Stone 
  A soldier travels through Europe on a doomed mission to track down his fiancée in this masterful and vivid evocation of life between the wars 
  Franz Tunda, an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, is captured by the Russians in World War I. Imprisoned in Siberia, he escapes to a remote farm, hiding out in such deep cover that he only learns of the end of the war months after the final shots have been fired. When peace is at last declared, Tunda pulls out a crumpled photo of a fiancée he doesn’t know—Irene is simply a beautiful face who represents the world before—and sets off in search of home. 
  But the old order has vanished, and Tunda finds himself swept along in the current of this new, terrifying world, surrendering to an impassioned love affair with a Russian revolutionary before drifting phantom-like through Europe’s cities. 
  Meanwhile, Irene has made her own accommodation with the course of events, and grows ever more distant from the young woman in that photograph—that photograph carried next to Tunda’s breast across a decade and a continent, heading inexorably toward a confrontation with its original in interwar Paris. 
  One of the most personal novels by the great eulogist of the Austro-Hungarian empire, this story melds wry humour and the experience of exile to reflect on the predicament of a man who can find no role for himself in a changed world.

  Marian Ffarmer is a world-renowned poet and a legend in the making—but only now, at seventy-five years old, is she beginning to believe in the security of her successes. Unfortunately, a poet's accomplishments don't necessarily translate to capital, and as her adult son struggles to buy his first home, her confidence in her choices begins to fray. Marian's pristine life of mind—for which she's sacrificed nearly all personal relationships, from romance to friendship to motherhood—has come at a cost. 
   
   
    
  Then comes a cryptic invitation from the Tech Company. Come to California, the invitation beckons, and write with a machine. The Company's lucrative offer—for Marian to coauthor a poem in a 'historic partnership' with their cutting-edge poetry bot, named Charlotte—chafes at everything she believes about artmaking as an individual pursuit . . . yet, it's a second chance she can't resist. And so to California she goes, a sell-out and a skeptic, for an encounter that will unsettle her life, her work, and even her understanding of kinship. 
   
   
    
  Both a love letter to and interrogation of the nature of language, art, labor, capital, family, and community, Do You Remember Being Born? is Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Sean Michaels's empathetic response to some of the most disquieting questions of our time.

  4 Short Horror StoriesStory 1: The Bogey HoleOn the Marston Estate, there is a small door. Little more than a normal shed attached to a normal council house on a normal estate. But the door isn't normal. Because it isn't just a door. This door, with its peeled green paint and peephole half way up, leads to The Bogey Hole and the thing that local children say, still lives and feeds, behind it.Story 2: Birthday Girl"Every single person you see here has three things in common. Firstly, they’re all dead. Secondly, they all died on my Birthday, April 14th and finally, they all died on April 14th, because I killed them.”When one of elderly residents of Malbrooke Grove Retirement Home receives a mysterious blank Birthday card in the mail, her carer is surprised and shocked by her violent reaction. It is only the following day when Doris begins to explain the supernatural, spiteful and deadly implications of that particular date, that her carer finally begins to see the terrifying reason why.Story 3: Tapping On GlassLate at night, alone in his apartment a young man hears the tapping on glass.How, he thinks, could someone be at the window, when he lives on the eleventh floor?How could that tapping, soft and deliberate, still be coming late at night and how could his dog simply disappear, from a room in which the doors and windows were all securely locked?Tapping on glass is a tale of horror, urban myths, twice told tales and of the awful truths that often lurk, not so far behind them.Story 4: Shades Of AutumnWhen artist Julian begins to turn green, his friends assume its something to do with the paint he is using. If not that, then perhaps stress, since he always reacts badly whenever a new show approaches and deadlines loom large.As time goes on however, Julian's friends come to realise that this year, the changing of the seasons will have far stranger and far darker effect upon him.Shades Of Autumn is a tale of desperation, horror, and nature at
