The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet
David Mitchell A new novel from the literary wizard who gave us The Cloud Atlas. The year is 1799, the place Dejima, the "high-walled, fan-shaped artificial island" that is the Japanese Empire's single port and sole window to the world. To this place of superstition and swamp fever, crocodiles and courtesans, earthquakes and typhoons, comes Jacob de Zoet. Jacob's intentions are shifted, his character shaken and his soul stirred when he meets Orito Aibagawa, the beautiful and scarred daughter of a Samurai, midwife to the island's powerful magistrate.

Galore Michael Crummey The latest novel from the author of River Thieves and a finalist for the 2009 Governor General's Literary Award, now out in paperback. An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real.
