Emma Donoghue, Akin, (Harper Collins Canada, 2019)
From the acclaimed author of Room, this tale follows a retired New York chemistry professor on a visit to Nice to celebrate his eightieth birthday, his first trip back since childhood during World War II. The return visit is complicated by temporary custody of his eleven-year-old great-nephew, and by unanswered questions concerning his family's past. Lovers of travel, history, and photography, particularly Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida will enjoy this book. More info here. Also available as an e-book from the St. Catharines Public Library.
