- Property / by Cayley, Kate,author.;
"A modern, class-conscious Mrs. Dalloway, this unsettling novel dissects common narratives of family and community, showing the fragile ties that hold us together. A spring day in an average gentrifying neighbourhood begins unremarkably enough; by evening someone has died. The local residents go about their daily routines: Nat, a middle-aged queer mother of two, feigns normalcy as she worries about her daughter and her taciturn, loner son locked in his room upstairs. Her friend Maddy, a failed actress and fellow parent, and her husband plan to go to Nat's for dinner. Next door, Ilya, still recovering from a gruesome industrial accident, is struggling to renovate a fixer-upper, but a buried stream keeps threatening to flood the basement. The troubled residents stumble through their errands and to-do lists, but each seemingly inconsequential exchange tightens in around the neighbourhood, until finally tragedy strikes, leaving it forever changed. With crystalline prose that balances emotional complexity and a hint of satire, Property explores the thorniness of class and privilege in a city stretched to the breaking point. The novel shows the complicated politics of queer respectability, friendship, the real and imaginary perils of raising children, and the ways that we hurt one another without meaning to."--- Subjects: Queer fiction.; Domestic fiction.; Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Families; Loneliness; Multiple person narrative; Neighborhoods; Neighbors; Social conflict;

- Generations : the real differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents--and what they mean for America's future / by Twenge, Jean M.,1971-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The North America is currently home to six generations of people: the Silents, born 1925-1945; Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964; Gen X, born 1965-1979; Millennials, born 1980-1994; Gen Z, born 1995-2012; and the still-to-be-named cohorts born after 2012. They have had vastly different life experiences and thus, one assumes, they must have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviours. But what are those differences, what causes them, and how deep do they actually run? Surprising, engaging, and informative, this book will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children.- Subjects: Conflict of generations; Conflict of generations.; Generations.; Generations;

- Soot : a novel / by Vyleta, Dan,author.; sequel to:Vyleta, Dan.Smoke.;
The year is 1909. It has been ten years since Thomas Argyle, Charlie Cooper and Livia Naylor set off a revolution by releasing Smoke upon the world. They were raised to think Smoke was a sign of sin manifested, but learned its suppression was really a means of controlling society. Smoke allowed people to mingle their emotions, to truly connect, and the trio thought that freeing the Smoke would bring down the oppressive power structure and create a fair and open society. But the consequences were far greater than they had imagined, and the world has fractured. Erasmus Renfrew, the avowed enemy of Smoke, is now Lord Protector of what remains of the English state. Charlie and Livia live in Minetowns, an egalitarian workers' community in the north of England which lives by Smoke. Thomas Argyle is in India on a clandestine mission to find out the origins of Smoke, and why the still-powerful Company is mounting an expedition in the Himalayas. Mowgli, the native whose body was used to trigger the tempest that unleashed the Smoke, now calls himself Nils and is a chameleon-like thief living in New York. And Eleanor Renfrew, Erasmus' niece who was the subject of his cruel experiments in suppressing Smoke, is in hiding from her uncle in provincial Canada. What she endured has given her a strange power over Smoke, which she fears as much as her uncle. Believing her uncle's agents have found her, she flees to New York with a theater troupe led by Balthazar Black, an impresario with secrets of his own. There they encounter Nils and a Machiavellian Company man named Smith. All these people seek to discover the true nature of Smoke, and thereby control its power. As their destinies entwine, a cataclysmic confrontation looms, and the Smoke will either bind them together or forever rend the world.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Alternative histories (Fiction); Dystopian fiction.; Good and evil; Social conflict; Life change events; Imaginary societies; Aristocracy (Social class);
