by Carol Livingstone, as submitted for publication in the Tofield Mercury.

AT THE FULL AND CHANGE OF THE MOON: A Novel, by Dionne Brand

[Christian Fiction] Through interconnected stories of Marie Ursule’s descendents, comes a history of dispossession and the heartbreaking intensity and wisdom with which we are drawn into the lives and passions of each one of them.

PROVIDENCE: A Novel, by Chris Coppernoll

[Christian Fiction] More than twenty year ago a drunk driver shattered Jack Clayton’s life. Now successful, he is haunted by the past and his future is uncertain thanks to a malicious reporter. Can he set the record straight?

A BOY OF GOOD BREEDING: A Novel, by Miriam Toews

[Christian Fiction] The author’s gently lunatic humor rob the despair from single motherhood, deserting fathers, failures of the heart in every sense, rescuing her characters who seem insulated by a kind of innocent wonder. A tonic for the spirit.
