Connect to this eAudiobook title Summary Note: When Stella, a young Métis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break - a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house - she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime.

A powerful intergenerational family saga, The Break showcases Vermette's abundant writing talent and positions her as an exciting new voice in Canadian literature.

2015., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: Fic War Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "When sharp-edged Frances Moon and her long-time partner encounter a funeral procession that brings traffic to a halt, she finds herself blurting out the barest thread of a story that she never intended to share. The reverberations drive her back to the past and her mother's old rental property, the lone house in a failed subdivision called Liberty Street. There, memories are ghosts: Frances's mother on her way to Nashville to become a country singer; her father determined to run his farm despite his failing eyesight; the town's bad apple, Dooley Sullivan; a string of renters including the December bride, Esme Bigalow, and a man who met a tragic end, Silas Chance. When a domestic mishap and a torrential hailstorm send Frances to the questionable safety of an eccentric neighbour's kitchen, she learns just how unreliable memory is, and that she was not the only one whose life after Elliot, Saskatchewan was determined by half-truths and bad decisions."--Jacket.

c2011., Adult, Thomas Allen Publishers Call No: Fic Gil Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Like a tourist visiting his own life, David Gilmourœs narrator journeys in time to re-examine those critical moments that created him. He revisits the terrible hurt of a first love, the shock of a parentœs suicide, the trauma of a best friendœs bizarre dissembling, and the pain and humiliation of unrelenting jealousy, among other rites of passage. In fact, here is the narrator of David Gilmourœs previous novels writing his own fictional autobiography in a dazzling cavalcade of stories that punctuate a life passionately lived and loved. Set within an episodic narrative arc, here are stories about the profound effect of Tolstoy, of the Beatles, of the cult of celebrity, of the delusion of drugs, and of the literary life on the winding road of the narratorœs progress.
