It is our richest season yet, and we’re thrilled to share a taste of some of our most dazzling, engaging, and compelling fiction titles with you. Be transported from the boulangerie-lined streets of Paris to the tension and uncertainty of the Vietnam War to the magical coast of East Africa; see moments in time through the grey eyes of Aristotle’s daughter, a day in the life of a woman longingly awaiting her adventurer husband’s return home, and the reflections of Mary, years after her son’s crucifixion; experience suspense like never before in thrillers so deliciously chilling, they’ll stay with you long after the last page is read; and, get to know a new generation of Canlit humour that will take you from the most famous address in the country to a place beyond this world—and every place in-between. Boasting only the best in fiction from literary stars like Governor General Award–winning Linda Spalding, Annabel Lyon, Colm Tóibín, Ian McEwan, Vincent Lam, Justin Cronin, and Shauna Singh Baldwin, as well as showcasing some of Canada’s brightest voices, among them Kim Thúy, Linwood Barclay, Terry Fallis, CS Richardson, Christine Pountney, Tanis Rideout, and Linda Svendsen, Best of Fiction Fall 2012 will capture your imagination and spark your curiosity, and introduce you to some of this season’s most charming, haunting, and enjoyable reads.
