Baking as Biography by Diane Tye
A daughter's exploration of her mother's life as revealed through her baking.
"This fascinating book is about more than baking. It's about women's work and women's worth, friendship and duty, and memory and family. There's some great food history here (…) and there's discussion of the shared experiences of women. It's a personal, thoughtful and revealing story." – Valerie Mansour, Atlantic Books Today
Winner of the Elli Kongas Miranda Prize and one of Kerry Clare's favourite books of 2010 on PickleMeThis.com
Occupied St John's edited by Steven High
The stories and memories of those who lived through the Second World War in Newfoundland. Weaving together interviews with residents who lived through the upheaval as well as archival material, this collection reconstructs the memories of people coping with extraordinary circumstances.
"This is an impressive work – and a gorgeous one. From its striking cover to its abundance of illustrations, it is crisply designed and visually engaging. From its categorical table of contents to its calibrated notes and footnotes it is a trove of information." – Newfoundland Quarterly
The Love Queen of Malabar by Merrily Weisbord
An astonishing adventure into the heart of one of India's most controversial writers, Kamala Das.
"The Love Queen of Malabar is a fascinating conversation between two strong-minded women, a narrative set in two countries and many cultures. It proves that none of us fit under one label or one identity, but are complex and contradictory and simply stuck with the messiness of our lives." – The Globe and Mail
Finalist for the Writer's Trust of Canada Non-Fiction Prize
A Fleeting Empire by Andrew D. Nicholls

"Written in a clear, direct style, A Fleeting Empire is an impressive achievement. It will enlighten anyone interested in the history of the Atlantic world in the early 17th century." – The Chronicle Herald
Partita for Glenn Gould by George Leroux
A privileged look into the life of a solitary artist with an extraordinary gift for communicating art to everyone.
"In an essay at once learned and personal, comprehensive and concise, Georges Leroux moves freely among the multifarious issues raised by Glenn Gould's life, personality, ideas, and work, offering original, sometimes provocative insights on even the most familiar Gouldian themes." – Kevin Bazzana, author of Glenn Gould: The Performer in the Work
