  • Fotografias de Memória

    Photographs by Gilberto Prioste by Gilberto Prioste

    Embark on a visual voyage through a significant period in the lives of Portuguese immigrants—exploring their dreams, their labour, their challenges, and their contributions to the mosaic that is Toronto today. Composed by an artist who immigrated to Canada with his family in 1964, the black and white photographs in this book pay tribute to a community that continues to shape the cultural fabric of the city. Even as the landscapes change, the human presence remains central. Whether in bustling cities or quiet corners of the world, Gilberto’s lens seeks gestures, expressions, and moments of connection that bridge cultures and invite contemplation.

  • The Primal Rift

    by Paul Vanhoutteghem

    Cordelia has survived monsters, magic, and the terrifying opening of the Chaos Portal, but Ataraxia is still breaking apart. When she and her friends find Lykos, one of the missing Guardians, in the Great Library of Ataraxia, they hope he’ll finally have the answers they need. Instead, they discover a deeper danger: hidden books, buried histories, mirror gods, and a Church of Serenity determined to protect peace—even if that means concealing the truth. With Drel, Pema, Kief, and Lykos at her side, Cordelia’s search leads from golden cathedrals and enchanted forests to a frozen lake and the secret world of the waveborn. Along the way, old allies return, new bonds are tested, and the line between order and chaos grows harder to see. The Primal Rift has opened, and its power is tearing through the world one disaster at a time. To close it, Cordelia and her friends must face corrupted Guardians, ancient magic, and a force strong enough to reshape Ataraxia itself. But the closer they get to the truth, the more personal the danger becomes, and the more she realizes that saving the world may cost her the people she loves most.

  • Let the Sufi Flout

    Surviving the Summer of ’57 in the Yukon by Lynn Arnason Friesen

    At home in Toronto in 1997, sixty-year-old Maude Thorvaldson is jolted back to the most pivotal chapter of her life when a radio interview with an old friend unlocks a rush of Yukon memories—and the girl she used to be. It’s the summer of 1957, and nineteen-year-old Maude heads north to work on a federal experimental farm at Mile 1019 on the Alaska Highway. The only woman among six summer students, she’s hungry for “experience” before she returns home to a tidy future—and an engagement waiting in the wings. With no women’s quarters, she’s placed in a couple’s spare bedroom, then pulled into the orbit of the “Bunkhouse Boys,” becoming the focus of their petty rivalries, rough humour, and pent-up sexual energy. As the days stretch longer under the northern lights, Maude is pulled between Takasaki (“Tak”), a brilliant, lonely researcher whose friendship with Maude threatens to explode into something else, a handsome RCMP constable who keeps drifting in and out of her life, and Roscoe, an unstable farm worker who fixates on Maude in ways she can’t laugh off. Told through letters, diary entries, and sharp asides from Maude’s older, wiser self, Let the Sufi Flout is a funny, frank, and deeply human coming-of-age story about desire, freedom, and the messes we make while learning how to live.
