FICTION
 | Isolde’s Dream and Other Stories Sudhir Jain The collection entitled "Isolde’s Dream" is anchored by stories of two women in love with two great romantic composers, Richard Wagner and Gustav Mahler...  |
 | Driftwood Ellesmere James Davidge Driftwood Ellesmere is the first of five novels that will chronicle the epic tale of a young girl who uses her unique skills to try to solve the world’s diverse problems including child labour, the extinction of animals, our logged forests and war. Driftwood’s quests will take her around the world and throughout the universe. Hers is a tale that is personal, mystical, timeless and fantastically relevant to the issues of today. |
 | The Devil's Chair Alexander Binning This is the story of a Lake Superior fisherman and Second World War veteran, Angus Ashabish, and a much younger man, Burl Manion, a wildlife "technician." After meeting Angus in the course of his work, Burl becomes deeply influenced by him, for Angus is not just a fisherman, but also an Anishinabe (Ojibwa) Shaman. |
 | Beside the Ocean of Time George Mackay Brown Shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize, this is one of the finest tales told by George Mackay Brown. Set on an imaginary island in the Orkneys north of Scotland, the story tells of young Thorfinn Ragnarson's daydreams that relive the thousand year history of his birthplace. |
 | Grass Castles Jackie Flanagan Written in an appropriately clear and lucid style, Grass Castles evokes nostalgia for simpler times, simpler lives. But the human emotions explored in Jackie Flanagan's characters reveal men and women, grown and growing up, as complex as any we encounter in our late twentieth century literature. |
 | A Wounded Tigress Mridula Mitra Vyas A collection of six enchanting novellas of contemporary India. A stunning journey into the world of well-to-do, well-travelled, well-educated people who are at the same time bound by ancient traditions. |
 | Tsing David Albahari Beginning a series of imagined vignettes involving a father and a daughter, Albahari weaves both real and imagined narrative fragments together. Albahari's fragments are simple stories about persons approaching each other, spending some time together, and eventually going their separate ways. |
 | Chasing Safiya A Novel by Ken McGoogan Chasing Safiya is a millennial quest-novel with a supernatural dimension, where magic realism meets contemporary urban fantasy. |
 | The Bold Testament A Novel by Maurice Yacowar What if .... Moses were an accident-prone schlemiel who stands waist-high to Charlton Heston? And the infamous Dalila were really a solid, self-sacrificing public servant and a great broad to boot? |
 | The Acts of the Compassionates Luke Moonwalker "We'll stay the course...we'll change the world." The Acts of the Compassionates has it all: mystery, political intrigue, unspeakably dastardly plots hatched in secret, and devastating tidal waves. Dare to look inside the clandestine world of a dedicated band of disciples who draw their religious fervor from the Acts of the Apostles—and their passion for world domination from the legends of Greek gods. It just might begin to sound familiar.... |
 | Krishna, A Love Story Ashis Gupta ‘Krishna, a Love Story’ is set in India of the late 1960’s, a setting that is fast disappearing – the lush, rolling tea gardens near Darjeeling set in the shadow of Mount Everest, a far less frenetic Calcutta, and the lingering vestiges of the British Raj still clinging to certain characters and institutions. |
