c2014., Adult, Doubleday Canada Call No: Fic Moo Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Jonathan Lewis-Adey was nine when his parents, who were raising him in a tree-lined Toronto neighbourhood, separated and his mother, Sid, vanished from his life. It was not until he was a grown man, and a promising writer with two books to his name, that Jonathan finally reconnected with his beloved parent--only to find, to his shock and dismay, that the woman he'd known as "Sid" had morphed into an elegant, courtly man named Sydney. In the decade following this discovery, Jonathan made regular pilgrimages from Toronto to visit Sydney, who now lived quietly in a well-appointed retreat in his native Trinidad. And on each visit, Jonathan struggled to overcome his confusion and anger at the choices Sydney had made, trying with increasing desperation to rediscover the parent he'd once adored inside this familiar stranger.

2017., General, Random House Call No: Bio L668r Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A darkly humorous memoir about a woman overcoming dramatic loss and finding reinvention, as well as a portrait of a generation used to assuming they're entitled to everything. In 2012, at age 38, when she left on a reporting trip to Mongolia, Ariel Levy thought she had figured it out: she was married, pregnant, successful on her own terms, financially secure. A month later, none of that was true. In gorgeous, moving, humorous, sharp, and unforgettable prose, Levy describes her own ill-fated assumptions: thinking that anything is possible, that the old rules do not apply; that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy; that gender and sexuality are fluid; that aging doesn't have to mean infertility. A story about realizing that life is so often beyond our control, and how we forge ahead despite that. A portrait of our time, of the shifting forces in values, women and gender in American culture. Based on her New Yorker article "Thanksgiving in Mongolia". Ariel Levy is a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine"--Provided by publisher.

By Echlin, Kim2021., Hamish Hamilton Canada Call No: Fic Ech Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: It's been eleven years since Gota has seen Kosmos, yet she still finds herself fantasizing about their intimate year together in Paris. Now it's 1999 and, working as a journalist for a Toronto travel magazine, she hears about a film festival in Sarajevo, where she knows Kosmos will be with his theatre company. She takes the assignment to investigate the fallout of the Bosnian war-- and to reconnect with the love of her life. But when they are reunited, she finds a man, and a country, altered beyond belief or recognition. Sitting in a small café, Kosmos introduces Gota to the new woman in his life, Edina. While Gota treads the precarious terrain of her evolving connection to Kosmos, she and Edina forge an unexpected bond. A lawyer and a force to be reckoned with, Edina exposes the sexual violence that she and thousands of others survived. Suddenly, a trip fueled by long-lost love becomes a passionate fight for justice: Gota is determined to tell their stories and will stop at nothing to make their voices heard. Before long, she finds her life entwined with the community of women and travels with them to The Hague to confront their abusers. The events Gota covers-- and the stories she hears-- will change her life forever.
