Sinopsis

CBC BOOKS WORKS OF CANADIAN FICTION TO READ IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2023 
49th SHELF EDITORS' PICK FOR JUNE 2023 
When a family is forced to return to the mother’s childhood home, she seeks meaning in her ancestral roots and the violent beauty of the natural world. 
Fleeing the city at the beginning of the pandemic, two families are cramped together in a small century-old country house. Winter seeps through the walls, the wallpaper is peeling, and mice make their nest in the piano. Without phones or internet, they turn to the outdoors, where a new language unfolds, a language of fireflies and clover. The five children explore nature and its treasures, while our narrator, Anaïs, turns to the eccentric neighbours and her own family history to find peace and meaning in the middle of her life. 
To the Forest is a field guide to a quieter life, a call to return to the places where we can reweave the threads of memory, where existence waltzes with death, where we can recapture what it means to be alive.
Disponible desde: 20/06/2023.
Longitud de impresión: 192 páginas.

    Life changes once again for British spy Miss Mary Bennet when Napoleon Bonaparte escapes from the Isle of Elba. Mary quickly departs England for Brussels, the city where the Allied forces prepare for war against the French. But shortly after her arrival, one of the Duke of Wellington’s best officers is murdered, an event that threatens to break the delicate alliance between the Allies. Investigating the murder forces Mary into precarious levels of espionage, role-playing, and deception with her new partner, Mr. Withrow—the nephew and heir of her prominent sponsor and the spy with whom she’s often at odds. Together, they court danger and discovery as they play dual roles in gathering intelligence for the British. But soon Mary realizes that her growing feelings toward Mr. Withrow put her heart in as much danger as her life. And then there’s another murder. Mary will need to unmask the murderer before more people are killed, but can she do so and remain hidden in the background?

    Balloon Animals READ BY THE AUTHOR. 
    BALLOON ANIMALS is a pilgrimage and road-trip of unusual dimensions.  
    Follow me, Jonny Rowe, on a wild goose chase from Ireland to the USA with my American grandfather's remains in my red birthday balloon. I use 'remains' in the loosest sense of the word: my grandfather, 45, puffed his last breaths of air into my birthday balloon before suffering a massive heart attack right there at my birthday party which becomes his deathday party. 
    Feeling responsible for 45's death, and as a thank-you for filling Clinical Dad's void after leaving that questionable suicide note, I make it my quest to return 45 to his birthplace amongst the corn of Iowa, USA, suspended inside his soul-bubble. This journey might also help me with my identity crisis... I'm a genealogy student, by the way. And who knows, maybe I'll find love - I tend to find things when I'm not looking for them. Join me on a desperate race against time to unveil the truth as my birthday balloon begins to deflate and loose 45 forever to the wind.

    In 2026, billionaire Nathaniel Cole returns to Willow Creek, the countryside town he fled fifteen years ago. His wealth, power, and reputation cannot erase the vow that bound him to silence on the night Charlotte Whitaker’s father died. 
    Charlotte, struggling to hold together her family’s crumbling estate, has lived with unanswered questions and shattered trust. When Nathaniel steps back into her life, secrets long buried begin to resurface—whispers of blackmail, betrayal, and a pact sealed in blood. 
    But Nathaniel is not the only one who has returned. Victor Langston, a ruthless developer, demands the Whitaker estate, claiming her father’s debts. And in the shadows, Charlotte’s cousin—believed dead—emerges with a ring that proves the past was never buried. 
    As Charlotte is pulled into a deadly game of silence and truth, she must decide whom to trust: the sheriff who swears to protect her, or the billionaire who betrayed her with his vow. 
    In a story of unspoken promises, hidden love, and a legacy of secrets, one vow will end in blood—and another will offer the hope of home.
