*Mr. Peanut* by Adam Ross

Even after reading Mr. Peanut by first time novelist Adam Ross I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.
 

Mr. Peanut is the story of David and Alice Pepin, whose childless marriage is severely tested by a series of miscarriages until one day David, a successful computer game programmer,comes home to find his wife poised to eat a handful of peanuts, which they both know will result in anaphylactic shock. Alice has struggles with depression and obesity and is stressed at a job teaching developmentally challenged children. The to and fro of modern marriage acts as the catalyst between the aforementioned couple and the circumstance of the two detectives assigned to Alice's death.
Detectives Hastroll and Sheppard have marital skeletons in their closets as well.
 

 

Hastroll's wife rebels against her marriage by one day refusing to get out of bed.  Sheppard has re-invented himself after a life as Dr. Sam Sheppard, the real life philandering doctor who beat a murder rap in the 50s in a show trial concerning the murder of his wife. This kind of unique plotting is emblematic of Ross's ability to move things along, and a lesser writer would have either never had the nerve or would have presided over a broken book.  As it happens, Ross doesn't sink every trick shot, and at times it feels like the author may have tried to tie things up a bit too neatly, but he writes great characters, and I was particularly surprised by this first timers comfort with all of his female characters.
 

Each relationship is deftly handled and before long the similarities bleed into the other two marriages.  Mr. Peanut is structured very similarly to Dan Chaon's Await Your Reply, and there are similar themes here.  How well can we really know another person? Does an increasingly virtual world make it easier to tweak one's identity, and what ramifications does that have for the nuclear family?
 

One hesitates to give the ending away, but it does fit the confines of the book.  It may just not work for everyone; but I'm not going to give it away here. This is an auspicious start to a career that I'm going to have fun watching. 

--Dave
*The Lovers* by Vendela Vida
The vagaries of bestsellerdom aside, I often wonder why some novelists take off after their first book while others who get all the great reviews in the right publications do a sort of slow burn; maybe catching on, most likely carving out a career of great reviews and smallish sales.
 
Booksellers often feel a palpable sense of failure when a favourite writer fails to catch fire.
The Washington Post book critic Ron Charles estimates that there are only about eighty thousand buyers of serious fiction in America, so perhaps Vendela Vida, author of the slight and wholly compelling new book, The Lovers is doing well enough; but I'm not sure what else she has to do to break through to bestseller status.

In this, Vida's third novel Yvonne is 53 and revisiting the turf of her honeymoon years earlier to her husband Peter, who was recently killed in an auto accident. Yvonne has only begun to delve into her grief and in many ways has come upon a plateau in her life.  The act of remembering happier times is slippery and subject to the weight of both passing years and the changing landscape upon which memory can rest.

The honeymoon in Turkey when Yvonne and Peter were young was an exotic, sensual place and now has faded into disrepair or become touristy. Yvonne also finds herself scrutinized by some locals immediately after taking residence in the lush beach house she has rented and is nervous about meeting her adult children on the last half of her vacation. 

It's through the back story of Yvonne's son, Matthew and especially her troubled daughter Aurelia that the story of Yvonne's marriage is shown in the context of a vacation built on the shifting terrain of memory and the tendency we all have to idealize marriage and youth.  I find that what I appreciate most in Vendela Vida's writing is her ability not to overstate her intentions.  Her prose style is spare enough for the reader to spot and appreciate detail, and at just over 220 pages, everything matters in this book.

Novels sometimes tend to sag in their middles, usually when the writer tries to do too much; overdescribe setting or overillustrate meaning.  After fifty pages, I knew I was in for a smooth ride from a writer comfortable with her gifts.  Vida's previous novel, the wonderful Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name has a similar hook to The Lovers, but she's fast becoming one of my favourite storytellers. Her terrain and the minor characters come alive after their initial sketches and keep their power throughout this slim and elegant novel.  I'll read everything she writes.
 --Dave
*The Long Song* by Andrea Levy 
I didn't expect a book about slavery to be funny, but there you have it- Andrea Levy's historical novel The Long Song made me laugh out loud on several occasions. 
 
This is the story of a slave girl called July, who lived on a sugar cane plantation in Jamaica in the mid 19th century. She lived through the Baptist war, the subsequent slave uprising and the abolition of slavery- huge events. What Levy focuses on is July's personal story of growing up under slavery, and the difficulty of the transition to freedom. July's mother is a strong black field slave named Kitty, but her father is a grotesque Scottish overseer who fathers July through the act of rape. July is then taken from her mother at the age of 6 to be a house slave to the plantation owner's rich, naïve and fat (as we are endlessly reminded) sister Caroline Mortimer. At first we think this might be a good thing for our heroine- although we are shown the pain this separation causes Kitty, July will undoubtedly live an easier life in the big house than labouring in the field. This hope is quickly dashed as we witness a scene where Caroline punishes July for not having the attention span to perform fine needlework by repeatedly jabbing her with a needle. 
 
July grows up and turns into quite a sassy young woman. She only just conceals her contempt for her ridiculous mistress, and is complicit in pranks played on her by the household staff, such as putting a bed sheet on the table instead of the fine linen to embarrass her at a dinner party. Shortly after this incident, the Baptist war starts, and all the men are called away to join the militia. July feels compassion for Caroline, who is terrified at being left alone on a plantation full of slaves. For all that it goes to great lengths to illustrate the dehumanizing effect of slavery, the slave owners are not depicted as one dimensional monsters. We might feel contempt for Caroline Mortimer, but at times we also feel pity for her along with July.
 
I don't want to spoil the main action of the plot, because in addition to being an interesting look at a pivotal time in Jamaica's history, The Long Song  is also just a compelling story. There's madness, tragedy, a weird love triangle, and to wrap things up an almost Dickensian side plot that twists the end into something almost like a happy ending. The Long Song is a meticulously researched historical novel that manages to entertain as successfully as it informs.
 --Caroline
 *The Urban Homestead* by Kelly Coyne
Finally-a guide to self-sufficient living that doesn't assume that you've just bought a hobby farm!  This book provides simple explanations for projects you can do around the urban home to reduce your eco-footprint and become more self-sufficient. 

It's the best book of its kind, and it's just been expanded and revised to include sections on composting, preserving food, and cleaning your house without toxic chemicals. 

The food section, in particular, makes The Urban Homestead a perfect book for July, because learning how to preserve the wonderful array of fresh fruits and vegetables found in Waterloo at this time of the year will have you enjoying the flavours of summer all year long.  You will find that many of the projects are manageable for a Saturday when you have a little free time, and you'll enjoy dreaming up possibilities for your urban homestead.  Why simply see ourselves as consumers when we are capable of producing so much?
--Laura
*Stranger Things Happen* by Kelly Link 
It seems like my top favourite books are always short story collections, and I'm not sure why. Is my attention span so perilously short as to prevent me from truly enjoying a novel? Has growing up in front of a TV and coming of age with the internet (and recently splurging on an Iphone) rendered my power to focus so flimsy that anything over a few pages goes in one eye and out the other, to mangle a metaphor?
 
I would argue not. The short story is more akin to poetry than the novel. The author only has so much room to accomplish what they set out to do- so they work harder at their craft to compress their meaning into the confines of a smaller form. I'd rather read a tightly crafted novella any day over a big baggy sprawling epic.
 
Kelly Link has clearly spent a lot of time and care polishing each gem of a short story to a high sheen- and linking them together with a sustained ominous, almost magical atmosphere. These are stories about childhood, fairy tales, love gone wrong, nightmares and mysteries- and not the kind of mysteries that get neatly wrapped up at the end.
 
In The Specialist's Hat,  2 bored young girls play creepy games with a mysterious baby sitter. Right from the get go we are firmly in Spooksville, with one of the girls
claiming "When you're Dead you don't have to brush your teeth" They keep reciting the creepiest child-like rhymes and eventually a history
of the supernatural and madness in their family is revealed. In Water off a Black Dog's Back an unsuspecting young man meets his secretive girlfriend's bizarre   parents
for the first time- with macabre results. In Travels with the Snow Queen Link mines oblique references to Nordic mythology and The Chronicles of Narnia  in the story of a
young woman's quest to find her lost lover.
 
The stories are fresh, unexpected, weird and enchanting. I would recommend them to anyone who has a love for magical realism, or who never go tired of playing pretend
as a child.
-Caroline

*Tinkers* by Paul Harding

When this year's Pulitzer Prize for fiction was announced in April, few in the publishing industry had heard of the author, Paul Harding, or his publisher, Bellevue Literary Press. Tinkers  ($19.99) is only the second book by a small press has won America's top award (The Confederacy of Dunces did it in 1981 for Louisiana State University Press and is still selling.)  Tinkers is the story of a clock repairman looking back over his life as he lies dieing with his family around him. His memories are interspersed with the story of his father, an itinerant salesman (the horse-and-wagon tinker of the title) in Maine whose epilepsy drove their family apart.

While that somber plot summary may be off-putting; read this book for its poetry:
"I decided to try to find my father in the woods. When I walked through the woods, I wore my father's old boots. They were too large, so I had to put one three pairs of socks to make them snug. I carried my lunch in his old wicker creel, slung over my shoulder. I wore his wide-brimmed hat. When I walked through the Gaspar's corn patch, I imagined breaking an ear from its stalk, peeling its husk, and finding my father's teeth lining the cob."

Of its many accolades, let me choose a favourite author of mine, Marilynne Robinson:  "Tinkers is truly remarkable...It confers on the reader the best privilege fiction can afford, the illusion of ghostly proximity to author human souls."
Coincidentally I'm re-reading Robinson's novel, Home ($18.99), about the last days of a retired Presbyterian minister. Two of his six children have come home to assist him in his final days; his youngest daughter, and his third son, who has been absent for twenty years. Robinson won the Pulitzer for Gilead ($18.95), which precedes Home, which won the Orange Prize. I'm eager to read her latest book, Absence of Mind ($26.95), her response to Richard Dawkins and the neo-atheists. From a lecture she delivered at Yale, it's subtitle is The Dispelling of Inwardness from the Modern Myth of the Self.

*Bruiser* by Neal Shusterman

Neal Shusterman is one of my favourite authors. I recommend his books to everyone, especially teen and pre-teen boys, or reluctant readers. He just knows how to write an engaging story that happens to be exciting and thought-provoking at the same time.
 
Bruiser is his newest novel. I thought I had an initial handle on the story-- brother and sister are close, but bicker and when the sister starts dating the school meathead, the brother gets understandably protective. As it unfolds, the reader finds out that the "bully" is possibly beaten by his uncle, and I thought that I knew where it was all going.
 
But I had no idea. And that's all I can say about the plot and the characters without giving away too much. What I can say is that Neal is known, at least by me, as a writer of stories involving fantastic situations. Everlost is set in a world after death where kids are stuck until they can find a way to move on, and Unwind (my favourite) is set in a futuristic society with a gruesome twist. Both books have a wonderful sense of imagination; Neal gives a lot of thought to the emotional lives of his characters and the world they inhabit. And Bruiser is no exception.
 
Set in a contemporary world, Bruiser completely surprised me. A great way to kick off your summer reading, you'll have this book read in a sitting. You'll need to know how it ends!

*White Cat* by Holly Black

White Cat is the first in a new series called The Curse Workers, and my first time reading Holly Black.
 

The story opens with Cassel Sharpe having sleepwalked out of his dormroom and onto the roof. It's actually a pretty great scene.

 

Except, once he's helped down from the roof, he's kicked out of school. It's no secret that his whole family are Curse Workers, his grandfather having been a death worker for the powerful Zacharov family. Cassel has never shown signs that he's inherited his family's worker gene, but the school thinks that maybe he's been cursed himself, on account of the shady dealings his family is associated with. Because although it is not illegal to have the ability to work, actually using your abilities to victimize others in any way is definitely illegal. Cassel's mother is in jail for this reason.

 

One of the coolest things about the world in White Cat is the notion and complexity of curse working. Bits of its history and rules are offered throughout the book, but there's no full-on explanation for its existence, or how some people have access to these abilities. People go around wearing gloves to protect themselves from skin contact, or if they're a worker, to show that they mean no threat to others. Traditionally a curse is transferred via the hands, and can only be countered by charms--bits of stone that have been created by workers to offer protection to the wearer.

 

There's so much background info about curses and charms and how everything functions, the type of society that would grow around a world with this magic in it. Holly works * har har * this into the story flawlessly and even attempts to explain the ability to work in a scientific frame.

 

Getting back to Cassel's entry into the story, he tells the reader, in a Noirish way that permeates the tone of the story, that he's killed his best friend.

Lila was a dream worker and Cassel just expects that his nightmares and sleepwalking are just a part of his guilt. Until he starts digging through his family's secrets and finds out there's way more going on to Lila's death than he remembers.

 

Holly is a very strong writer when it comes to characters and dialogue. One of my favourite scenes is when Cassel goes to see Crooked Annie, a sharp, wizened fortuneteller who's real business is selling powerful charms. The dialogue is perfect, the back and forth between them. The scene is so vivid and really gives a lot of unspoken information about Cassel and his growing concern that his family is conning him.

There are two more books slated for the series and I can't imagine where the story will go from here. White Cat is a great choice for the dudes.

During June we'll be reading:
 
 Stitches by David Small

(From the publisher) With this stunning graphic memoir, David Small takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the dark heart of his tumultuous childhood in 1950s Detroit, in a coming-of-age tale like no other.

At the age of fourteen, David awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover his throat had been slashed and one of his vocal chords removed, leaving him a virtual mute. No one had told him that he had cancer and was expected to die. The resulting silence was in keeping with the atmosphere of secrecy and repressed frustration that pervaded the Small household and revealed itself in the slamming of cupboard doors, the thumping of a punching bag, the beating of a drum.

Believing that they were doing their best, David's parents did just the reverse. David's mother held the family emotionally hostage with her furious withdrawals, even as she kept her emotions hidden - including from herself. His father, rarely present, was a radiologist, and although David grew up looking at X-rays and drawing on X-ray paper, it would be years before he discovered the shocking consequences of his father's faith in science.

A work of great bravery and humanity, Stitches is a gripping and ultimately redemptive story of a man's struggle to understand the past and reclaim his voice.

The bright colours will captivate little eyes and the moveable parts just add to the shake shake shake baby dancing feeling of the book. This is a good one for new mom and dads who will only be able to relate to the exhausted parents at the end of the book! 


Another baby book that we just discovered: Baby! Baby! by Vick Ceelen. This book features adorable photos of human babies opposite animal babies that feature similar expressions. A wordless book that is perfect for baby showers.

Instructions by Neil Gaiman
I'm not sure if it's because of his streak of literary award wins, but Neil Gaiman really pops them out! Everytime I turn around the man has written another book; it was just a few months ago I was reviewing Blueberry Girl for one of our newsletters. And a cynical reader might think the quality of imagination from an author like this might be in question, but his newest, Instructions, really caught me offguard.
 
Instructions is not a fairy tale, but a meta fairy tale. A Puss N' Boots type character, addressed by the narrator as if it were the reader, moves through a story with all the clichés and images in popular fairy tales. The narrator gives wise and simple advice, such as if you find three princesses, don't trust the youngest one and if an eagle gives you a feather keep it safe. All general, fairy tale information for a journey.
 
Where this book starts to pull at my heartstrings is the overarching story, the tone that develops as a journey through a life lived with wisdom and creativity. I can imagine reading this to my niece when she's old enough, let's say around 5, and onwards through her life. Instructions is a surprisingly good choice for graduates and a terrific read-aloud for kids on a rainy day. Read it through and see how touching it is.  -- Mandy
 
Barnes and the Brains series by Kenneth Oppel
This is a fun action-packed series from the same author of the Silverwing/Sunwing books. Giles Barnes and his friends Tina and Kevin Quark (ie the Brains) get into all sorts of adventures that require their science and detective skills. Whether it's ghost birds, invisible magicians, or renegade robots, Barnes and the Brains are on the case. This series features six exciting titles for junior readers. A great pick for summer! 
 
 -- Bronwyn
Beryl: A Pig's Tale by Jane Simmons
 
I first fell in love with the illustrations in Beryl: A Pig's Tale because they are so charming and remind me of The Mole Sisters, one of my favourite series for kids. Beryl has so much personality on every page, along with all the other creatures (mostly pigs) she meets. There are even little pig's foot tracks across some pages.
 
And then I was struck by the tone of the book, which reminded me of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, which is darker, as far as kid's books goes. Although there is a strong history of main characters in children's fiction having to deal with serious situations. Beryl goes from a lonely life with a tough past, to finding family and a much sought after home. What happens in between is a series of adventures that will entertain .

excerpts from Melville House Publishing's Moby Lives Blog:
 
Whether rich or poor, residents of the United States or China, illiterate or college graduates, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans, University of Nevada, Reno associate professor of sociology and resource economics.

For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, strikingly, this massive study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as having parents who are barely literate (3 years of education) compared to having parents who have a university education (15 or 16 years of education). Both factors, having a 500-book library or having university-educated parents, propel a child 3.2 years further in education, on average.
 

 The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed," she says. "Even a little bit goes a long way." The study found that, "Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on propelling a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater the benefit.
