Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Unforgettable Ontario explores Ontario at its best. This beautifully illustrated guide celebrates 100 of the communities, events and festivals that help to make a visit to Ontario unforgettable. Author Noel Hudson reflects the province's rich cultural and geographic diversity as he travels Ontario's countryside, from its villages, towns and cities to cottage country and the north. Each entry offers a fascinating glimpse into Ontario's dynamic past and present, its spectacular landscape and the spirit of its citizens. Among the 100 destinations: Agawa Canyon Wilderness Park, 114 miles (183 km) northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, is accessible only by trail or aboard the historic Algoma Central Railway, a memorable 10-hour round-trip excursion with stops to view the waterfalls and climb to the Lookout 250 feet (76 m) above the canyon floor. The well-appointed train features a GPS-activated tour commentary in English, French, German, Japanese and Mandarin. Goderich is well known for its breathtaking sunsets, beaches, parks and historical museums. You can wander the main street lined with heritage buildings, stroll the boardwalk that connects the three beaches, visit the Marine Museum and the Huron County Museum and Gaol built in 1841 and catch a play at the Livery Theater. The village of Perth is nestled along the Tay River in Lanark County, and its picturesque downtown boasts craft stores, antique stores, specialty shops and restaurants, as well as some of the finest examples of heritage buildings in the province. Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum possesses what may be the world's most comprehensive collection of footwear -- over 13,000 artifacts spanning 4,500 years of history: Ancient Egyptian sandals, French chestnut-crushing boots, a Japanese samurai's bear-fur shoes, Native American footwear, celebrity and royal shoes, sneakers -- it's all here. Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Centre in North York holds over 1,000 artifacts and works of art -- including manuscripts, drawings, paintings, ceramics, metalwork, garments and tapestries -- dating from the 8th century to the 21st century. Music and dance performances delight visitors and contribute to a deeper understanding of the values, culture and heritage of Ismaili Muslims. With the exchange rate still favorable for Americans and Canada still high on the must-see list for overseas travelers, Unforgettable Ontario: 100 Destinations is the perfect reference for travelers in search of a single guide to the province's many attractions.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Café by the Sea--whose novels are "an evocative, sweet treat" (JOJO MOYES)--comes this heartwarming holiday novel set on a charming Scottish island. On the remote Scottish island of Mure, the Christmas season is stark, windy, and icy--yet incredibly festive and beautiful. It's a time for getting cozy in front of whisky barrel wood fires, and enjoying a dram and a treacle pudding with the people you love--unless, of course, you've accidentally gotten pregnant by your ex-boss, and don't know how to tell him. In the season for peace and good cheer, will Flora find the nerve to reveal the truth to her nearest and dearest? Will her erstwhile co-parent Joel think she's the bearer of glad tidings--or is this Christmas going to be as bleak as the Highlands in midwinter? Meanwhile Saif, a doctor and refugee from war-torn Syria is trying to enjoy his first western Christmas with his sons on this remote island where he's been granted asylum. His wife, however, is still missing, and her absence hangs over what should be a joyful celebration. Can the family possibly find comfort and joy without her? Travel to the beautiful northern edge of the world and join the welcoming community of Mure for a Highland Christmas you'll never forget! And warm up your kitchen with bonus recipes for the Little Beach Street Bakery's seasonal shortbread, Lanark Blue Scones, and Black Buns. &nbsp. …

Luckenbooth is a place of compacted time, where the past manifests as unquiet ghosts and the future bleeds into the present . There''s a force in Luckenbooth''s bizarre assemblage.'' The Times''Definitely going to be one of my books of 2021, a gloriously transgressive novel of Edinburgh denizens past and present.'' IAN RANKIN________________________Stories tucked away on every floor. No. 10 Luckenbooth Close is an archetypal Edinburgh tenement.The devil''s daughter rows to the shores of Leith in a coffin. The year is 1910 and she has been sent to a tenement building in Edinburgh by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancée. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents - a curse that will last for the rest of the century. Over nine decades, No. 10 Luckenbooth Close bears witness to emblems of a changing world outside its walls. An infamous madam, a spy, a famous Beat poet, a coal miner who fears daylight, a psychic: these are some of the residents whose lives are plagued by the building''s troubled history in disparate, sometimes chilling ways. The curse creeps up the nine floors and an enraged spirit world swells to the surface, desperate for the true horror of the building''s longest kept secret to be heard. Luckenbooth is a bold, haunting and dazzlingly unique novel about the stories and secrets we leave behind, and the places that hold them long after we are gone.________________________''One of the most stunning literary experiences I''ve had in years. Luckenbooth, sprawling the decades with its themes of repression and revenge, brings back something that has long been lacking in the British novel: ambition. If Alasdair Gray''s Lanark was a masterly imagining of Glasgow, then this is the quintessential novel of Edinburgh at its darkest.'' IRVINE WELSH''A deeply powerful, compellingly vivid novel . Luckenbooth is a major work of Scottish fiction - possibly one of the most significant novels of the last ten years'' ALAN WARNER''Luckenbooth is seedy, sexy and strange, a haunted house story soaked in booze and bad weather . Fagan''s prose is fast and impressionistic.'' Sunday Telegraph''With Luckenbooth, [Jenni Fagan] gives us nine of Edinburgh''s wildest and loneliest misfits . Piles on claustrophobia and menace . As we move between the characters'' perspectives, gritty realism takes over from the gothic. This isn''t fancy Edinburgh: at No 10 it''s cigarettes, cocaine and Benzedrine for breakfast . There are memorable creations . Fagan''s prose is poetic, high-octane, built on punchy sentences. Arresting descriptions of the city and its weather abound. This is not a novel that lacks energy.'' Sunday Times''Jenni Fagan''s Luckenbooth reminded me of one of my favourite novels, Georges Perec''s Life: A User''s Manual. Set in an Edinburgh tenement, it leaps across decades to tell the story of the curse that haunts No 10 Luckenbooth Close and its eccentric inhabitants.'' Alex Preston, Observer ''Structures and structuralism obsess Jenni Fagan. Those obsessions intertwine spectacularly in Luckenbooth, her third novel, about an Edinburgh tenement and the curse that haunts it, infecting the lives of all who live across the building''s nine floors over nine decades of mystery and uproarious change . Melding the poetic, the esoteric and the occult with the grit and grime of a real life lived on the edge, she writes unlike any other author of her generation, in no small part because she has lived a life unlike any other author.'' Scotsman''A whirlwind of a novel, and I am certain that various labels will be attached to it - Caledonian magic realism, tartan gothic, something nasty in the shortbread tin, Angela Carter in a kilt cross-hatched with safety pins. What it is, is radical and profoundly fabulist. It is about the stories we are told and whether there is the possibility of there being new stories . There is a great deal of imagination and empathy at work here. The structure of the building acts as a kind of framework to contain the pent-up furies . Luckenbooth is a daring book, and beautifully written.'' Scotland on Sunday''Fagan is unflinching in her depictions of derangement and death but Luckenbooth is compelling and often darkly funny . Her storytelling has an urgency and - to use an overused but apt word - authenticity.'' Financial Times''Masterly . A lesser writer would struggle to control this cacophony of voices but what marks out Luckenbooth is the fierce intelligence driving Fagan''s tale . This is a mad god''s dream of a book - it deserves to be shortlisted for every prize going this year.'' iNews''An audacious statement and a terrific read.'' TLS.…
