"The Berlin Apartment" by Bryn Turnbull
Written by Toronto author and international bestseller Bryn Turnbull. The exceptionally researched novel features a couple who, due to fate and circumstance, are separated on either side of Berlin when the iron curtain falls severing them indefinitely. A fascinating look at how a divided city existed in such staggeringly different ways is a backdrop for a tale about hope, fortitude and love. It’s also a page turner!

"The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig
This juggernaut of a bestseller was immensely popular during the pandemic lockdowns and continues to be so. In a magical library between life and death, a woman unhappy with existence finds the opportunity to explore the lives she might have lived and the chances she might have taken. A luminous look at grief and regret, it is a quiet and introspective book that will spark a lot of discussion.

"The Wonder" by Emma Donoghue
Written by one of our most alluring Canadian writers. Set in post-famine Ireland, a young English nurse is hired to care for a supposedly miraculous girl — who has lived without food for four months subsisting instead on what her mother calls “manna from heaven.” The blurred lines between faith and spectacle are explored in some very arresting prose. I read this in one sitting.
