  CBC BOOKS - CANADIAN FICTION TO READ IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2023 
  Peter Greenaway meets Angela Carter: a Gothic tale of secrets and revenge
     
  When the curtain rises on Malmaison, it reveals a once-enchanting estate, quietly falling into darkness and ruin, and at the heart of it, a father, one of a long line of fathers who have flourished at the expense of those around them. The silence seems peaceful, but lurking under it is a deep malevolence, scores of ugly and violent secrets kept by cast-off mistresses and abandoned daughters.
     
  Ever-greedy, the father brings in Aliénor, a woman who promises to make the lands give even more of themselves; the plants will flourish, the animals will multiply, each feast will be more sumptuous than the last. The father thinks the stage is set to satisfy his every desire, but Aliénor will bring a new script, one in which the hunters are hunted and a new reign will begin.

  Glenesk - The History and...

  Glenesk is one of the most beautiful of the Angus glens. Though surrounded by high peaks in its upper reaches and seemingly remote, it is no isolated backwater. A network of hill-paths through the Mounth links Glenesk to Deeside and neighouring Angus glens, while its lower end opens out to the low country of the east. This is one reason why the Glen is so rich in the relics of life and work of the people who have lived there and who have passed through it from early times onwards.
  This is the story of an upland, rural community, told from the perspectives of the people themselves and covers almost every aspect of glen life. From the distant past to modern day, the book looks at people's changing relationships with the landscape, the buildings they lived, worked and worshipped in and the tools they used.
  Official documents record the effects of the famine and wars of the 17th-century, and the deprivations suffered either at the hands of marauding Highland caterans or the renegade offspring of their landlords. The text is complemented by many origianl, period photographs which portray the everyday life of the Glen.

  Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help children and adolescents process and recover from trauma. Combining principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy with trauma-sensitive techniques, TF-CBT has been shown to effectively reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve emotional and behavioral functioning in young individuals. This model empowers children and their families to heal from the effects of trauma, fostering resilience and long-term well-being. 
  Trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars, impacting a child’s development, relationships, and overall quality of life. Experiences such as abuse, neglect, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one can overwhelm a child’s capacity to cope, leading to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other challenges. TF-CBT addresses these impacts by providing a safe and supportive framework for children to confront their trauma, reframe their thoughts, and build healthier coping mechanisms. 
  The TF-CBT model follows a phased approach, beginning with skill-building and stabilization. This phase includes teaching relaxation techniques, emotional regulation skills, and strategies for managing distressing thoughts. Once a foundation of safety and trust is established, therapy transitions to trauma narration and processing. During this phase, children are guided to share and explore their traumatic experiences in a controlled and supportive environment, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and reduce the power of painful memories. The final phase focuses on integration and resilience, equipping children and their families with tools to maintain progress and foster positive growth.
