Summary

Harold Bindloss's "The Impostor" is a riveting narrative that delves deep into the complexities of identity, societal expectations, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Canada, the novel explores the themes of deception and self-discovery through the tumultuous life of its protagonist, who grapples with personal and moral dilemmas in a world that often values appearances over authenticity. Bindloss's literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and incisive character studies, reflects the naturalistic trends of his time while also engaging with social realism, providing readers with a profound commentary on the struggles of the individual against societal norms. Harold Bindloss, a Canadian author known for his evocative portrayals of the Canadian landscape and its people, draws from his own life experiences as a settler and traveler. These encounters fueled his exploration of themes such as alienation and the desire for belonging, which resonate throughout "The Impostor." His background in agriculture and his keen observation of human character contributed to the depth and authenticity of the novel's characters, making their struggles feel both universal and personal. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that challenges perceptions of self and reality. "The Impostor" not only entertains but also invites introspection and dialogue, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    A brand-new novel from New York Times bestselling author Robert Littell, A Plague on Both Your Houses is a thrilling tale of love and war. 
    On Christmas Day, 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev delivered a ten-minute televised speech announcing his resignation as Soviet president. Moments later, with little pomp and less circumstance, the red flag was lowered from its floodlit perch atop the Kremlin, and the Soviet Union ceased to exist. 
    Into the vacuum—before a new democracy had time to put down roots—surged the Russian mafia, supplying what the new state could not: krysha, or “roof”—protection for the privately owned businesses sprouting across the country. Rivalries turned bloody as Moscow’s Jewish mafia battled the Ossete vory v zakone (literally “thieves-in-law”) for control of the city. Caught up in the mayhem, Yulia, only daughter of the Jewish mafia godfather, and Roman, only son of the Ossete mafia godfather, are obliged to navigate the minefield of a star-crossed love affair as they attempt to escape a destiny that appears preordained. 
    A Plague on Both Your Houses is the fictional story of one bloody episode in Moscow’s Great Turf War, when clans fought brutally in the streets and the future of the Russian nation was anything but assured.
