  • It lasts forever and then it's over

    Creator

    De Marcken, Anne

    Abstract

    Co-winner of the 2022 Novel Prize, this incredible life-after-death novel asks us to consider how much of our memory, of our bodies, of the world as we know it—how much of what we love can we lose before we are lost? And then what happens? Winner of the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize, co-winner of the 2022 Novel Prize, shortlisted for the 2025 Pacific Northwest Book Award. This third perspective on myself is disconcerting. The heroine of the spare and haunting It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over is voraciously alive in the afterlife.

  • The borrowed life of Frederick Fife

    Creator

    Johnston, Anna

    Abstract

    "A funny, heartfelt story about found family and seeing the silver lining in life. Fans of A Man Called Ove and Remarkably Bright Creatures will especially enjoy this new novel." —Library Journal. A zany case of mistaken identity allows a lonely old man one last chance to be part of a family. "Would you mind terribly, old boy, if I borrowed the rest of your life? I promise I'll take excellent care of it." Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he'd return it washed with a full tank of gas.

    Pierrot, Emmanuelle

    Abstract

    Elle croyait qu'ici, à l'autre bout du monde, au confluent de la rivière Klondike et du fleuve Yukon, elle aurait le droit de vivre libre. De coucher avec qui elle veut, d'aimer qui elle veut, à visage découvert et sans honte. Mais la femme sans honte se déshonore – et contre la femme sans honneur, tous les coups sont permis. À dix-huit ans, Sacha et son meilleur ami Tom quittent Montréal sur le pouce et aboutissent à Dawson City, au Yukon, où ils trouvent enfin la communauté de punks, d'anars et de vagabonds dont ils rêvaient.

    Creator

    Dupuis-Morency, Clara

    Abstract

    Having followed the brilliant virologist Régnier from Montreal to Marseille many years ago, Sadie now works as a researcher in a lab, spending most of her time among microscopic creatures who teach her about life as a parasite. By day, she pushes the limits of her understanding alongside Régnier, who taught her that to study viruses, she must think infectiously, allow herself to be contaminated by dangerous ideas. By night, Sadie loses herself in bars, music, drugs, sensuality. Until she gets a call from the past that lures her back across the Atlantic.
