Bellevue Square
From Giller Prize-winning author Michael Redhill comes a literary thriller about a woman who fears for her sanity--and then her life--when she learns that her doppelganger has appeared in a local park. Jean Mason has a doppelganger. She's never seen her, but others swear they have. Apparently, her identical twin hangs out in Kensington Market, where she sometimes buys churros and drags an empty shopping cart down the streets, like she's looking for something to put in it. Jean's a grown woman with a husband and two kids, as well as a thriving bookstore in downtown Toronto, and she doesn't rattle easily--not like she used to. But after two customers insist they've seen her double, Jean decide...
Martin Sloane
In 1984, Jolene Iolas, a student in upstate New York, encounters Martin Sloane's work while visiting a Toronto gallery. She strikes up a correspondence with the older artist, and eventually they become lovers. And then, without warning, without a word, he vanishes. There is no hint of his fate, no chain of cause and effect to be followed. Over the following months, Jolene sheds her life, losing everything, including her oldest friend, Molly, to her grief. Ten years pass, and Jolene begins to live with Martin's disappearance. But then the opportunity to confront her ghost arises. Word comes from, of all people, Molly, that someone named Sloane has been exhibiting in Irish galleries. Jolene travels to Dublin, where she is reluctantly reunited with her old friend. Together, the two women become lost in a jumble of pasts as they try to piece together what happened to Martin Sloane. Seamlessly crafted and beautifully written, Martin Sloane evokes the mysteries of love and art, the weight of history, and what it means to bear memory for the missing and the dead.
Consolation

Twitch Force

Simon Callow, Guardian 'A marvellous book... an uplifting tale of tranquillity sought and found in the nearest Britain gets to paradise.' Simon Jenkins 'There are worlds on worlds within this lyrical and profoundly cultured book.

The Calling
‘That rare unplug-the-phone, skip-all-meals, ignore-your-bedtime thriller.’ GILLIAN FLYNN Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef is making her way towards retirement after keeping the peace in the sleepy town of Port Dundas for many years.

They soon discover that this is not the first time a body has been found in this way, and it is unlikely to be the last. The Calling is now a major film starring Susan Sarandon, Topher Grace and Donald Sutherland. ‘A stunning serial killer chiller – dark, surprising and utterly compelling’ MO HAYDER

Fidelity
Redhill conjures up many unexpected twists in ten richly textured stories that range from the darkness of family silences to the hilarity of people caught in their own snares. With his unflinching attention to emotional detail, Redhill proves once again to be "a writer of considerable humanity and insight" (A.L. Kennedy).
Goodness
This remarkable autobiographical play by the award-winning author of Building Jerusalem and Martin Sloane, is a Russian-doll-like play: concentric stories enveloping each other. A writer is told, in confidence, a terrible tale of murder and injustice and he promises never to repeat the story. Goodness is the writer breaking his word. Recently divorced, Michael Redhill goes to Poland to get away frm his life and to do some research on the Holocaust. Thwarted by witnesses unwilling to talk, he returns home via England, but in London is introduced to someone who can tell him a 'real' story of evil. Through this reluctant witness, Redhill learns of a genocide. He encounters, through the memory o...
Lake Nora Arms
"Lake Nora Arms, a place to retreat, an escape from madness... but there is no map to the arms. There is only one way to get there." ""To find Lake Nora, think about the shore of Couchiching. Ride the thought through the Severn Locks; past the sanatorium at C48, marked in block letters at the bottom of the map. Lake Nora whistles through these places to her throne, dragging the graphed lines with her like a thrashing salmon breaking through the net... To find Lake Nora go Sherpa. Stop looking. Read the signs."" ""To find me, surrender."" "Redhill's poems burn with a life lived as intense, hallucinatory, full of personal attentiveness. We aren't use to a world being described like this, we weren't looking. But it's real. These poems taste of iron and the head's boat we have to dock and undock every day. The lid's on, it's off, a pike has bitten off a dog's leg and gets his own, a few poems later. This book is a lake you can plunge into again and again. Rich, sensual boysy, jocular, serious and whimsical by turns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
