Cursed bread : a novel / by Mackintosh, Sophie,author.;

"From the Man Booker-nominated author of The Water Cure comes an elegant and hypnotic new novel of obsession that centers on the real unsolved mystery of the 1951 mass poisoning of a French village. Still reeling in the aftermath of the deadliest war the world had ever seen, the small town of Pont-Saint-Esprit lost its mind. Some historians believe the mysterious illness and violent hallucinations were caused by spoiled bread; others claim it was the result of covert government testing on the local population. In that town lived a woman named Elodie. She was the baker's wife: a plain, unremarkable person who yearned to transcend her dull existence. So when a charismatic new couple arrived in town, the forceful ambassador and his sharp-toothed wife, Violet, Elodie was quickly drawn into their orbit. Thus began a dangerous game of cat and mouse - but who was the predator and on whom did they prey? Audacious and mesmerising, Cursed Bread is a fevered confession, an entry into memory's hall of mirrors, a fable of obsession and transformation.

School statue showdown / by Starr, David(School principal),author.;

Includes bibliographical references."This mystery/adventure set in a small BC lumber town is a fictional account of an event that is similar to many across the country--a sudden conflict over a school name and the historic figure it recognizes. Educator and childrens' novelist David Starr builds a compelling fictional narrative using elements drawn from the history of resource exploitation at the expense of First Nations' communities. In this book, the son of the owners of the town's lumber mill goes to a school named after his grandfather. When his grandfather's statue is splashed with paint as a protest, his best friend from the nearby reserve supports the protest. To defend his grandfather's reputation, he digs into town history to learn more about his family. What he learns about the experience of the nearby First Nation community leads to a whole new understanding of his family's legacy--and the town's troubling past."--RL 5.7.012+.

When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it. However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie arrives in Ballygar for her mother's funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie, a skeptical traveler, joining in place of her mother. The glamor and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only distancing traits: Old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle.
