Atonement is

| I loved The
Notebooks, as the reader got acquainted on a personal level with
each author, with behind-the-scenes interviews as well as sneak
peaks at new offerings underway. Suzanne-Marie Green, Chapters,
Belleville, ON |

Mercy
Among the Children, by David Adams Richards — this book still haunts
me long after being read, with its tale of raw humanity and suffering
from uncontrollable prejudice.

Anne Rice’s
Merrick was a return to the dark and energetic feel of her earlier
books, possibly the best she’s written in nearly a decade. Kent
Pollard, Skylight/McNally Robinson Booksellers, Saskatoon, SK |
I fell in love
with Balzac and the Little chinese Seamstress, an exquisitely packaged
little gem of a novel about growing up in a time of brutal transition,
but more than that, it is an affirmation of the power of literature
and storytelling to transform people’s lives and transcend rigid
cultural boundaries.
Shirley Felker, The University of Ottawa Bookstore Trade Department,

I love Wyrd
Sisters by Terry Pratchett. I love it because he takes a familiar
story, Macbeth, and turns it on its head, creating a hilarious
story full of rich believable characters and a wonderful storyline
of love and magic.
