More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another overfilled, ill-equipped, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too many passengers: Syrians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives back in their homelands. But miraculously, someone has survived the passage: nine-year-old Amir, a Syrian boy who is soon rescued by Vänna. Vänna.

There have been many Clayton Thomas-Mullers: The child who played with toy planes as an escape from domestic and sexual abuse, enduring the intergenerational trauma of Canada's residential school system; the angry youngster who defended himself with fists and sharp wit against racism and violence, at school and on the streets of Winnipeg and small-town British Columbia; the tough teenager who, at 17, managed a drug house run by members of his family, and slipped in and out of juvie, operating in a world of violence and pain.

In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance.

Like thousands of Aboriginal children in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the colonized world, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a church-run residential school. These institutions endeavored to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. In this frank and poignant memoir of her years at St. Joseph's Mission, Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family and eloquently articulates her own path to healing.

In 1927, South Africa passes the Immorality Act, prohibiting sexual intercourse between “Europeans” (white people) and “natives” (Black people). Those who break the draconian new law face imprisonment—for men of up to five years; for women, four years. Abram and his wife Alisa have their share of marital problems, but they also have a comfortable life in South Africa with their two young girls. But then the Act is passed. Alisa is black, and their two children are now evidence of their involvement in a union that has been criminalized by the state.

Shuggie’s mother Agnes walks a wayward path: She is Shuggie’s guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good - her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamourous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor.

A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy and friendship and parents' love. She knows boredom and listlessness and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this.

In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomás discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that - if he can find it - would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe's earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure. Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomás' quest.

Description
In Scarborough, a low-income urban neighborhood, three kids struggle to rise above poverty, abuse, and a system that consistently fails them. The adults in their lives either rise to the occasion or fall by the wayside; together, they make up a troubled yet inspired community that refuses to be undone.
Go Behind the Scenes of Scarborough
In a conversation with Audible at the 2019 Festival of Literary Diversity in Brampton, Ontario, author Catherine Hernandez explains why it was important for her to represent the LGBTQ+ community in her work.D'autres livres audio du même...

Relatable representation!
I was wary of this book at first because I read other reviews that made me think this was a “bashing white ppl” book. In my black a** opinion, it is not a bashing book. Its stories about people of different cultures feeding into stereotypes... hopefully it’s to show us just how foolish those stereotypes can be when you don’t know a person’s whole story. The characters feel like imperfect people trying to get through their lives without the leg up they deserve. Many of the stories are similar to real life events that happened to me, friends and family. I didn’t grow up in Scarborough (west end 4 life! lol) but it felt like an ode to being raised in a multicultural city that didn’t treat us very friendly, while also showing me what my fellow ppl of colour might have been suffering. I appreciate Hernandez for this book. I wasn’t always a fan of her narration and rated it “okay”.

Phenomenal- story and narration.
This story affected me viscerally. I sobbed gut wrenching sobs. I felt rage at the injustices that I know are all too real and not just contained in the pages of the story. I floated away on the love and determination. The narration was exquisite- it had life and depth. I am recommending this book to everyone. A must read.

Great stories.
Ms. Hernandez has written a wonderful book packed with stories that portray a slice of the Toronto borough that often is portrayed as less than a desirable place to live in. The stories reflect a multicultural reality often hidden from the rest of us who are oblivious or indifferent to those whose needs are varied and constant. It is a book that strikes a balance of sad and happy stories. Recommendable.

I was hooked from the begging and never last interest for a second! I am in love with this book and the author. Everyone should read this book in order to investigate where we are judging others and ourselves and start to unearth it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Beautiful and gut wrenching
I wasn’t prepared for how viscerally this gorgeous book would affect me! Living in the GTA, the roads and neighbourhoods were familiar to me and this added to the poignancy of the people and their stories. One one level I was saddened and teary for their trauma and the havoc it wreaked but on the other level I was smitten by the scrappiness and tenacity and all of the loveable and unloveable-ness of each and every soul. There is uncensored language and blunt descriptions of the challenges of poverty, child abuse, and what it can mean to be a sex worker, a nail aesthetician, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, an Islamaphobe, a Native American, a parent lacking the appropriate and necessary resources and the communities and outreach centres that they live amongst. These desperate situations and the people surviving against incredible odds could be neighbours of many of us and makes me feel shame for feeling compassionate but not actively doing more, volunteering more, keeping my eyes and heart open more. Please don’t get me wrong; there is sadness but also incredible joy. I bawled my eyes out but just as often because of happiness as of grief. Ms. Hina (Heena?) and Laura will be embedded within me for ages. Please absolutely read!

One of the best books I've devoured.
Catherine Hernandez is an incredible author. It was an honour to listen to her words. This book examines structural and social determinants of health and wellbeing in a nuanced and accessible way. It was powerful to listen to Scarborough while driving on the 401.

A story of poverty and hope. The reality of life for some in the big city. We shouldn't forget that children are suffering even in a well off country like Canada.
