From Publishers Weekly: Known to discerning readers for his beguiling Deptford Trilogy and the more recent Rebel Angels, Canadian author Davies has written another irresistible novel. His story of the secret life of Francis Cornish, full of ironic twists and surprises, has the added enticement of a look inside the rarefied world of art experts and restorers. There is even a hint of the thriller genre, since Cornish joins British Intelligence to participate in an international scheme to defraud the Nazis of Old Masters. But this is primarily a character study, built around the theme: "what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh, " with the corollary that suffering endured when one is young builds character for later achievements. Born into an eccentric, wealthy Canadian family in a backwoods town, enduring a lonely and suffocatingly pious upbringing, Cornish eventually becomes a respected art appraiser and collector, at the sacrifice of his considerable talent as a painter. In addition to the tantalizing story of how this comes about, related with elements of intrigue and mystery, Davies delivers a wickedly funny, trenchant dissection of provincial society and some witty observations about religion and art. .

When a sixty-seven-year-old Canadian rascal named Bernard Panofsky decides to write "the true story of my wasted life" the result is Barney's Version, Mordecai Richler's wickedly funny blend of satire, social commentary, and brilliant introspection on the state of contemporary lifeHoping to rebut the charges about him made in a rival's autobiography Barney feels compelled to pen his account of events From his bohemian misadventures during the 1950s in Paris to the fortune he amassed through his trashy TV company Totally Unnecessary Productions and the three women he married, he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn't He skewers feminists, politicians, the bourgeoisie, fads, social movements, and most of all himself And when it comes to being charged with the murder of his own best friend -- caught in bed with the second Mrs Panofsky -- Barney's version is as contradictory and slippery as real life right up to its astonishing endWildly vulgar, superbly ironic, and brilliantly manic, Barney's Version is Mordecai Richler's comic masterpiece, the great work of a satirist at the top of his game, Washington Square Press, 3, London England: Silver Moon & Silver Mink. publishers warning Adults only.

One of today's most admired and controversial political figures, Ayaan Hirs i Ali burst into international headlines following the murder of Theo van G ogh by an Islamist who threatened that she would be next. She made headline s again when she was stripped of her citizenship and resigned from the Dutc h Parliament. Infidel shows the coming of age of this distinguished political superstar a nd champion of free speech as well as the development of her beliefs, iron will, and extraordinary determination to fight injustice. Raised in a stric t Muslim family, Hirsi Ali survived civil war, female mutilation, brutal be atings, adolescence as a devout believer during the rise of the Muslim Brot herhood, and life in four troubled, unstable countries ruled largely by des pots. She escaped from a forced marriage and sought asylum in the Netherlan ds, where she earned a college degree in political science, tried to help h er tragically depressed sister adjust to the West, and fought for the right s of Muslim women and the reform of Islam as a member of Parliament. Under constant threat, demonized by reactionary Islamists and politicians, disown ed by her father, and expelled from family and clan, she refuses to be sile nced. Ultimately a celebration of triumph over adversity, Hirsi Ali's story tells how a bright little girl evolves out of dutiful obedience to become an outspoken, pioneering freedom fighter. As Western governments struggle to balance democratic ideals with religious pressures, no other book could be more timely or more significant., Atria, 2008, 2.5<
