There was a story that Mama read to Jiro: Once, in old Japan, a young woodcutter lived alone in a little cottage. One winter day he found a crane struggling in a snare and set it free. When Jiro looks out the window into Mr. Ozu’s garden, he sees a crane and remembers that story. Much like the crane, the legend comes to life—and, suddenly, Jiro finds himself in a world woven between dream and reality. Which is which? Allen Say creates a tale about many things at once: the power of story, the allure of the imagined, and the gossamer line between truth and fantasy. For who among us hasn’t imagined ourselves in our own favorite fairy tale?

She felt that it was her job to get him happy for at least a moment. Or two.But when she reached out to help, he turned and faced the wall. He put his head in both hands and said,"no, I don't need you,"when she knew really, he did. Or at least he needed someone, she was sure of it. She thought she knew what he needed. And the sting of rejection was far more than a sting; this ugly twisting inside of her burned too much. Too quickly. Something in that girl ached like no one deserves to feel, and yet again she put her hand out. This time, though the garden boy's answer was final. "You don't want me.I'm - broken. Poisonous."Broken he was, and the Earth turned to glass, shards of it, that sliced at her outstretched hand - tiny cuts in her heart. She tried to water the flower bed with her tears, but the invisible sharpness simply remained hidden.She watched as he slowly turned to ivy, crawling up the brick."The problem isI always need to test love;Never learning Love does not enjoy being tested."- KOMAL KAPOO

A Globe and Mail 100 Best Book Finalist, Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction Finalist, City of Victoria Butler Book Prize A deeply affecting portrait of a long partnership and a clear-eyed account of the impact of a serious illness, writing as consolation, and the enduring significance of poetry from one of Canada's most celebrated voices. When we ran off together in 1978, abandoning our marriages and leaving wreckage in our wake, I was a "promising writer," Patrick had just won the Governor General's Award. I was so happy for him, and I've continued to be every time an honour comes his way, but I knew if I didn't grow, if I remained merely someone who showed potential, we wouldn't last. I swore I wouldn't play the dutiful wife, cheerleader, and muse of the great male writer, and he didn't envision a partner like that. We aspired to flourish together and thrive in words and books and gardens. When Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane met at a poetry workshop in 1976, they had no idea that they would go on to write more than forty books between them, balancing their careers with their devotion to each other, and to their beloved cats, for decades. Then, in January 2017, their life together changed unexpectedly when Patrick became seriously ill. Despite tests and the opinions of many specialists, doctors remained baffled. There was no diagnosis and no effective treatment plan. The illness devastated them both. During this time, Lorna turned to her writing as a way of making sense of her grief and for consolation. She revisited her poems, tracing her own path as a poet along with the evolution of her relationship with Patrick. The result is an intimate and intensely moving memoir about the difficulties and joys of creating a life with someone and the risks and immense rewards of partnership. At once a spirited account of the past and a poignant reckoning with the present, it is, above all, an extraordinary and unforgettable love story. Told with unflinching honesty and fierce tenderness, Through the Garden is a candid, clear-eyed portrait of a long partnership and an acknowledgement, a tribute, and a gift.

"The Secret Garden" is a beloved children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1911. The story follows the journey of Mary Lennox, a young girl who is orphaned after a cholera outbreak in India and sent to live with her uncle in England. Mary is initially a spoiled and unhappy child, but she begins to transform after discovering a secret garden on her uncle's estate. As Mary spends more time in the garden, she learns to appreciate the beauty of nature and develops a love for gardening. She also befriends Dickon, a local boy who has a magical connection with animals, and Colin, her cousin who is confined to his bed due to a mysterious illness. Together, they work to restore the garden and bring it back to life. Throughout the novel, Burnett weaves themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the healing power of nature. Mary's transformation from a selfish and unhappy child into a caring and compassionate one is a testament to the transformative power of love and the natural world. The novel also explores the importance of connection and community, as Mary, Dickon, and Colin form a tight-knit bond that helps them overcome their individual struggles. "The Secret Garden" has been adapted into numerous films, stage productions, and television series, and remains a beloved classic of children's literature. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Burnett's skill as a storyteller and her ability to capture the imagination of readers of all ages.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.
