There's a saying in Barstow, California, a decaying city in the scorching Mojave desert . . . The Interstate here only goes in one direction: Away. But it's the only place where ex-LAPD detective Beth McDade, after a staggering fall from grace, could get another badge . . . and a shot at redemption. Over a century ago, and just a few miles further into the bleak landscape, a desperate stranger ended up in Calico, a struggling mining town, also hoping for a second chance.

Living with her eccentric mother and her mother's new boyfriend, she is desperate for something to shake her from her dull, isolated life.

Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish.

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

Histoire
A Woman of Endurance, set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society, follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of breeding future slaves. The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity.

Description
He listened as their voices faded into the rumble of the falls. He was thinking about the lynx. The way it had looked at him, acknowledging his existence, then passing out of his life like smoke.... It was the first thing - the only thing - that had managed, if only for a moment, to displace from his mind the image of the child. He had carried that image with him for a year now, and it had been a weight so great that sometimes he could hardly stand.
Mary Lawson’s beloved novels, Crow Lake and The Other Side of the Bridge, have delighted legions around the world. The fictional Northern Ontario town of Struan, buried in the winter snows, is the vivid backdrop to her breathtaking new novel.
Road Ends brings us a family unravelling in the aftermath of tragedy: Edward Cartwright, struggling to escape the legacy of a violent past; Emily, his wife, cloistered in her room with yet another new baby, increasingly unaware of events outside the bedroom door; Tom, their eldest son, 25 years old but home again, unable to come to terms with the death of a friend; and capable, formidable Megan, the sole daughter in a household of eight sons, who for years held the family together but has finally broken free and gone to England, to try to make a life of her own.
Road Ends is Mary Lawson at her best. In this masterful, enthralling, tender novel, which ranges from the Ontario silver rush of the early 1900s to swinging London in the 1960s, she gently reveals the intricacies and anguish of family life, the push and pull of responsibility and individual desire, the way we can face tragedy, and in time, hope to start again.
Ce que les critiques en disent
National Best Seller
“The frozen landscape, which might fill some with dread, opens a rich world for Lawson.... It is a beautiful novel, with the psychological twists and turns of each character gently and poignantly unfurled.” (The Globe and Mail)
“Every Canadian student should be reading Mary Lawson novels - starting with Crow Lake and now including her newest accomplishment, Road Ends.... Like all great writers - and Lawson is among the finest - she tells her story in a deceptively simple and straightforward way, but one that resonates with anyone who has ever struggled with doing the right thing by a family member despite a desperate longing to escape that burden. She humanizes even the least sympathetic of her charges.” (Toronto Star)
“Mary Lawson finds literary gold in the hard landscape of the Canadian Shield.” (Ottawa Citizen)

Slow pace
It’s beautifully written, but moves along so slowly that I often struggled to stay awake while listening. It really is a non eventful story of a very odd family. Not sure why I didn’t appreciate its full value, I think because the very not bright characters were frustratingly ineffectual. I wanted to slap them all and finish reading.

Mary Lawson has become my favourite author
I don’t know how I had missed hearing about Mary Lawson until recently. I have now listened to all four of Mary Lawson’s novels and have loved every one of them. Her characters have such authenticity - probably as a result of her background in psychology. She has a beautiful gift for foreshadowing which means the stories are gripping right from the beginning and her descriptions are vivid. These stories are so Canadian - one of the nicest things about them.
I read Road Ends last of all and was delighted that as in all her books some characters resurface. As in all hat books I found myself dreading the thought of finishing the book because I would miss the characters so much. I did find the ending sad but filled with promise of good happenings ahead so I hope there will be a sequel to this one.
