Her husband, Gordon, a local doctor, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home, intends for her to name the child after him. But when the registrar asks which name she wants to pick, Cora hesitates... What follows are three alternate and alternating versions of both Cora's and her young son's life, shaped by her brave last-minute choice of name. Spanning thirty-five years, the novel draws us in from the first page, as we follow three unforgettable journeys of one young man, but also his mother, grandmother, and sister. In richly layered prose, The Names explores the painful ripple effects of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985497</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985497</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Knapp, Florence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4985497192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735250147/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Elements (BOOK CLUB SET of 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["From author John Boyne, a gripping and profound exploration of guilt, blame, trauma, and the human capacity for redemption. In The Elements, acclaimed Irish novelist John Boyne has created an epic saga that weaves together four interconnected narratives, each representing a different perspective on crime: the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator, and the victim. The narrative follows a mother on the run from her past, a young soccer star facing a trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and a father on a transformative journey with his son. Each is somehow connected to the next, and as the story unfolds, their lives intersect in unimaginable ways. Boyne's most ambitious work yet, The Elements is both an engrossing drama and a moving investigation of why and how we allow crime to occur. With masterful, spellbinding prose, he navigates this complex subject with extraordinary empathy and unflinching honesty. The story resonates on a deeply emotional level, challenging readers to confront their own conceptions of guilt and innocence at every step. Amid the wildly engrossing storytelling, the book ultimately asks: What would you do when faced with the unthinkable?"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985503</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985503</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boyne, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4985503192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250410368/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Heiress (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she's not only North Carolina's richest woman, she's also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family's estate high in the Blue Ridge mountains. In the aftermath of her death, that estate--along with a nine-figure fortune and the complicated legacy of being a McTavish--pass to her adopted son, Camden. But to everyone's surprise, Cam wants little to do with the house or the money--and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes. Instead, he rejects his inheritance, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past. Ten years later, Camden is a McTavish in name only, but a summons in the wake of his uncle's death brings him and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House. Its views are just as stunning as ever, its rooms just as elegant, but coming home reminds Cam why he was so quick to leave in the first place. Jules, however, has other ideas, and the more she learns about Cam's estranged family--and the twisted secrets they keep--the more determined she is for her husband to claim everything Ruby once intended for him to have. But Ruby's plans were always more complicated than they appeared. As Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden, questions about the infamous heiress come to light. Was there any truth to the persistent rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to those four husbands, who all died under mysterious circumstances? And why did she adopt Cam in the first place? Soon, Jules and Cam realize that an inheritance can entail far more than what's written in a will--and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4796964</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4796964</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hawkins, Rachel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4796964192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250341846/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Frozen River (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["A gripping historical mystery based on the real-life diary entries of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife who found herself at the center of a murder trial."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4828520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4828520</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lawhon, Ariel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4828520192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593312070/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who We Are (BOOK CLUB SET of 9)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Judge, senator, and activist. Father, grandfather, and friend. This is Murray Sinclair's story--and the story of a nation--in his own words, an oral history that forgoes the trappings of the traditional written memoir to center Indigenous ways of knowledge and storytelling. As Canada moves forward into the future of reconciliation, one of its greatest leaders guides us to ask the most important and difficult question we can ask of ourselves: Who are we? For decades, Senator Sinclair has fearlessly educated Canadians about the painful truths of our history. He was the first Indigenous judge in Manitoba, and only the second Indigenous judge in Canadian history. He was the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and remains one of the foremost voices on Reconciliation. And now, for the first time, he will share his full story--and his full vision for our nation--with readers across Canada. Drawing on Senator Sinclair's unique experiences, and his perspectives regarding Indigenous identity, human rights, and justice in Canada, Who We Are will examine the roles of history, resistance, and resilience in the pursuit of finding that path forward, and healing the damaged relationship between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. And in doing so, it will reveal Senator Sinclair's life in a new and direct way, exploring how all of these experiences shaped him as an Anishinaabe man, father, and grandfather. Structured around the four questions that have long shaped Senator Sinclair's thinking and worldview--Where do I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Who am I?--Who We Are will take readers into the story of his remarkable life as never before, while challenging them to embrace an inclusive vision for our shared future.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4847678</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4847678</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sinclair, Murray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4847678192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>Four Questions for A Life and A Nation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771099106/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Berry Pickers (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[A four-year-old girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a tragic mystery that will remain unsolved for nearly fifty years. July 1962. A Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family's youngest child, vanishes mysteriously. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on her favourite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain deeply affected by his sister's disappearance for years to come. In Boston, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective.

For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women--the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand. Secrets of the Sprakkar is a powerful and atmospheric portrait of a tiny country that could lead the way forward for us all"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4796965</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4796965</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reid, Eliza]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4796965192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>Iceland&apos;s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982174040/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead (BOOK CLUB SET of 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[This hilarious and profound debut for fans of Mostly Dead Things and Goodbye, Vitamin, follows a morbidly anxious young woman--"the kindhearted heroine we all need right now" (Courtney Maum, New York Times bestselling author)--who stumbles into a job as a receptionist at a Catholic church and becomes obsessed with her predecessor's mysterious death. Gilda, a twenty-something, atheist, animal-loving lesbian, cannot stop ruminating about death. Desperate for relief from her panicky mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local Catholic church, and finds herself being greeted by Father Jeff, who assumes she's there for a job interview. Too embarrassed to correct him, Gilda is abruptly hired to replace the recently deceased receptionist Grace. In between trying to memorize the lines to Catholic mass, hiding the fact that she has a new girlfriend, and erecting a dirty dish tower in her crumbling apartment, Gilda strikes up an email correspondence with Grace's old friend. She can't bear to ignore the kindly old woman, who has been trying to reach her friend through the church inbox, but she also can't bring herself to break the bad news. Desperate, she begins impersonating Grace via email. But when the police discover suspicious circumstances surrounding Grace's death, Gilda may have to finally reveal the truth of her mortifying existence. A delightful blend of warmth, deadpan humor, and pitch-perfect observations about the human condition, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead is a crackling exploration of what it takes to stay afloat in a world where your expiration-and the expiration of those you love-is the only certainty.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4926756</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4926756</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Austin, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4926756192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982172794/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brighten the Corner Where You Are (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reimagines the life of Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4066481</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4066481</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bruneau, Carol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4066481192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>A Novel Inspired by the Life of Maud Lewis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771088831/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Woman of No Importance (BOOK CLUB SET OF 9)]]></title><description><![CDATA["The never-before-told story of one woman's heroism that changed the course of the Second World War In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." This spy was Virginia Hall, a young American woman--rejected from the foreign service because of her gender and her prosthetic leg--who talked her way into the spy organization dubbed Churchill's "ministry of ungentlemanly warfare, " and, before the United States had even entered the war, became the first woman to deploy to occupied France. Virginia Hall was one of the greatest spies in American history, yet her story remains untold. Just as she did in Clementine, Sonia Purnell uncovers the captivating story of a powerful, influential, yet shockingly overlooked heroine of the Second World War. At a time when sending female secret agents into enemy territory was still strictly forbidden, Virginia Hall came to be known as the "Madonna of the Resistance, " coordinating a network ofspies to blow up bridges, report on German troop movements, arrange equipment drops for Resistance agents, and recruit and train guerilla fighters. Even as her face covered WANTED posters throughout Europe, Virginia refused order after order to evacuate.She finally escaped with her life in a grueling hike over the Pyrenees into Spain, her cover blown, and her associates all imprisoned or executed. But, adamant that she had "more lives to save, " she dove back in as soon as she could, organizing forces tosabotage enemy lines and back up Allied forces landing on Normandy beaches. Told with Purnell's signature insight and novelistic panache, A Woman of No Importance is the breathtaking story of how one woman's fierce persistence helped win the war"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3900757</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3900757</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Purnell, Sonia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3900757192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win WWII</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735225299/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3772861</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3772861</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Balasubramanyam, Rajeev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3772861192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781784742546/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Clockmaker's Daughter (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3871192</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3871192</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Morton, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3871192192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781451649413/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[This Is Happiness (BOOK CLUB SET of 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["Change is coming to Faha, a small Irish parish that hasn't changed in a thousand years. For one thing, the rain is stopping. Nobody remembers when it started; rain on the western seaboard is a condition of living. But now - just as Father Coffey proclaims the coming of the electricity - the rain clouds are lifting. Seventeen-year-old Noel Crowe is idling in the unexpected sunshine when Christy makes his first entrance into Faha, bringing secrets he needs to atone for. Though he can't explain it, Noel knows right then: something has changed. As the people of Faha anticipate the endlessly procrastinated advent of the electricity, and Noel navigates his own coming-of-age and his falling in and out of love, Christy's past gradually comes to light, casting a new glow on a small world. Harking back to a simpler time, This Is Happiness is a tender portrait of a community - its idiosyncrasies and traditions, its paradoxes and kindnesses, its failures and triumphs - and a coming-of-age tale like no other. Luminous and lyrical, yet anchored by roots running deep into the earthy and everyday, it is about the power of stories: their invisible currents that run through all we do, writing and rewriting us, and the transforming light that they throw onto our world"-- Publisher description.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4825378</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4825378</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Williams, Niall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4825378192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781635576313/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Overstory (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[A novel of activism and natural-world power presents interlocking fables about nine remarkable strangers who are summoned in different ways by trees for an ultimate, brutal stand to save the continent's few remaining acres of virgin forest.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4393275</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4393275</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Powers, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4393275192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393356687/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When All Is Said (BOOK CLUB SET OF 8)]]></title><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3983657</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3983657</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Griffin, Anne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3983657192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250200587/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Nest (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3895440</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C3895440</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[und]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sweeney, Cynthia D'Aprix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3895440192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>und</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443445238/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Days Of Toil And Tears (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Flora works hard as a child mill labourer.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4234424</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4234424</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[und]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ellis, Sarah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4234424192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>The Child Labour Diary Of Flora Rutherford</subtitle><language>und</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780439955942/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Marionette (BOOK CLUB SET of 9)]]></title><description><![CDATA["James Norval has built a successful career crafting the thrilling adventures of his fictional hero, Hunter Chase, a character admired by readers and movie-goers worldwide. But despite his fame and fortune, Norval has always harboured a secret dream of living the life he only writes about--a life as a field operative for CSIS, Canada's Security Intelligence Service. In fact, nearly thirty years earlier, he washed out of the CSIS recruitment program, and it's haunted him ever since. But that long-held dream becomes a reality when a series of unfortunate events lands Norval in a foreign prison. Rescued by CSIS, he is given an unexpected opportunity: to use his unique position as the favourite writer of Mali's newly installed president to assist in a delicate and dangerous mission. With the help of agent Lauren Cooper, Norval must infiltrate the Malian government and execute a daring plan to exfiltrate fifteen Canadian nationals before the corrupt powers that control the country uncover their true intentions. The Marionette is a comic thriller by a master of the craft. Full of Terry Fallis' signature wit and combined with an exhilarating high-stakes plot, this is a must-read for fans of espionage and intrigue."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985506</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fallis, Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4985506192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771021114/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memorial Days (BOOK CLUB SET of 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz -- just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy -- collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk. After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha's Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at the beach. But all of this ended abruptly when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf. Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the various ways in which cultures grieve and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony's death. A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985476</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985476</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brooks, Geraldine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4985476192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593653982/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Emperor of Gladness (BOOK CLUB SET of 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["A year in the life of a wayward young man in New England who, by chance, becomes the caretaker for an eighty-two-year-old widow living with dementia, powering a story of friendship, loss, and how much we're willing to risk to claim one of life's most treasured mercies: a second chance."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985505</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4985505</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vuong, Ocean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4985505192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593831878/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impossible Creatures (BOOK CLUB SET of 5)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Christopher discovers the Archipelago, a world where mythological creatures were secreted away by magic long ago, but those creatures are now dying, and it is up to Christopher and Mal, a girl from the Archipelago, to save both of their worlds.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4826057</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4826057</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rundell, Katherine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4826057192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593809860/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death & Other Inconveniences (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA["Well, Dick's dead. Now what? Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork coming her way. She doesn't want to deal with the details--why do you think she was married in the first place? Dick always handled the drudgery. Monty, Margo's ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one), is trying to support Margo--who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Their daughter Julia knows Margo needs her, but between work complications, house complications, and genius-yet-useless son complications, Julia's gasping for air already. Dead Dick's ex-wife Carole and their daughter Velma consider Margo a maneater thanks to a few long-ago indiscretions, so the funeral is a nightmare. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracies. And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, trying to endure everyone else's judgements about the woman she is when she doesn't even know herself. Maybe a cat will help. (The cat doesn't help.) How old do you have to be to come of age? ...and has anyone seen Dick's will? With humour and heart, national bestseller Lesley Crewe walks readers through the incredibly disruptive domino effects of the death of one unremarkable man."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4701372</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4701372</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Crewe, Lesley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4701372192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774712795/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the Upper Country (BOOK CLUB SET OF 10)]]></title><description><![CDATA[The fates of two unforgettable women--one just beginning a journey of reckoning and self-discovery and the other completing her life's last vital act--intertwine in this sweeping, deeply researched debut set in the Black communities of Ontario that were the last stop on the Underground Railroad.]]></description><link>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4701376</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4701376</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas, Kai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://missmills.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4701376192</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735243484/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Women (BOOK CLUB SET of 9)]]></title><description><![CDATA["When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation.
