CBC journalist Linden Macintyre won this year’s Scotiabank Giller Award with THE BISHOP’S MAN. While only Macintyre’s second novel, THE BISHOP’S MAN is the gripping story of a Catholic priest wrestling with his conscious, after being asked to cover-up the latest scourge of sexual abuse. The Giller jury found it “a brave novel, conceived and written with impressive delicacy and understanding”; causing Macintyre to win out over Margaret Atwood and Anne Michaels.
Teen readers should enjoy Neil Gaiman’s latest graphic novel MARVEL 1602. This is a highly original work, exploring the consequences of superheroes appearing"not in the 20th century"but 400 years earlier, in Elizabethan England.
