Imagine Emma
Every year, 2,200 families in Canada experience the loss of a child under the age of fifteen. Twenty-five years after the sudden death of his two-year-old daughter, Emma, Rick Johnston has written Imagine Emma: A Father’s Grief Journey as a life-affirming book to support other parents who have joined the “fraternity of the unthinkable.” Written in straightforward, easy-to-follow language, Johnston offers guidance, comfort, and hope to parents during a time when the grief of losing a child feels completely overwhelming. Key to Johnston’s learnings is that the heart and the mind often follow their own, separate timelines. Each person will experience this journey differently. Imagine Emma concludes with suggestions for how to honour your lost child in ways that will keep their memory alive and fill you with more deep love and joy than you might think possible.

Grave Consequences
Archaeologist Emma Fielding encounters murder and mystery on the site of an old English Abbey in this second "rip-snorting good mystery" (Aaron Elkins) written by a real-life archaeologist. Archaeologist Emma Fielding is beginning to doubt the wisdom of spending her summer vacation in England helping friends excavate a 12th-century abbey, especially after they uncover an all-too modern skeleton in the nearby medieval graveyard. But it’s the second discovery—of a murdered graduate student recently missing from the dig—that suggests to Emma that Marchester isn’t exactly the quiet riverside town in appears to be. And when a member of the town’s neopagan community shows up, claiming that the site is a sacred spot for Wiccans, Emma knows that conflicting interests and intentions may have driven someone to murder. There are dark passions and lethal secrets buried here, heinous crimes that shake the conflicted community to its core, and it’s up to Emma, an outsider far from home, to delve into a past that too many people—including her friends—would do anything to hide.

The Nineteenth-Century Novel: Identities
The Nineteenth-Century Novel: Identities provides an ideal starting point for understanding gender in the novels of this period. It explores the place of fiction in constructing gender identity within society at large, considering Madame Bovary, Portrait of a Lady and The Woman in White. The book continues with a consideration of the novel at the fin de siecle, examining Dracula, The Awakening and Heart of Darkness. These fascinating essays illuminate the ways in which the conventions of realism were disrupted as much by anxieties surrounding colonialism, decadence, degeneration and the 'New Woman' as by those new ideas about human psychology which heralded the advent of psychoanalysis. The concepts which are crucial to the understanding of the literature and society of the nineteenth century are brilliantly explained and discussed in this essential volume.
