      By Winter, Michael, 1965-
       2014., Adult, Doubleday Canada Call No: 940.4 W786i    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "The young men who came from Newfoundland's outports, fields, villages and narrow city streets to join the storied regiment that led many of them to their deaths at Beaumont-Hamel during the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916. A century later the author walks in the footsteps of the dead men to discover what remains of their passage across land and through memory. Part unconventional history, part memoir-travelogue, part philosophical inquiry, Michael Winter captures the extraordinary lives and landscapes, both in Europe and at home, scarred by a war that is just now disappearing from living memory. As he wanders from battlefield to barracks to hospital to hotel, and finally to a bereft stretch of land battered by a blizzard back home, Winter startles us with the unexpected encounters and juxtapositions that arise from the act of walking through the places where the soldiers once marched, the author armed with artifacts and knowledge those earlier souls could not have, yet undone by the reality of their bodily presence beneath the earth. This unusual and poignant book gives us a new way of looking at a powerful piece of history that continues to haunt our own lives. Michael Winter lives in Toronto and Newfoundland"--Provided by publisher.

      By Thomas, Amy
       c2012., Sourcebooks Call No: Bio T454p    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Forever a girl obsessed with all things French, sweet freak Amy Thomas landed a gig as rich as the purest dark chocolate: leave Manhattan for Paris to write ad copy for Louis Vuitton. Working on the Champs-Élysées, strolling the charming streets, and exploring the best patisseries and boulangeries, Amy marveled at the magnificence of the City of Light. But does falling in love with one city mean turning your back on another? ...Paris, My Sweet explores how the search for happiness can be as fleeting as a salted caramel soufflé's rise, as intensely satisfying as molten chocolate cake, and about how the life you're meant to live doesn't always taste like the one you envisioned"--P. [4] of cover.
