It recounts a journalist’s voyage into the poorest country in the Western hemisphere\, hit by the greatest natural disaster in modern history\, and the fraught\, messy realities of international aid. It is about hope\, kindness\, heartbreak\, and the modest but meaningful difference one person can make. \n\n Immigrant City by David Bezmozgis \nHarperCollins \n\n \nIn these deeply-felt\, slyly humorous stories\, Bezmozgis pleads no special causes but presents immigrant characters with all their contradictions and complexities\, their earnest and divided hearts. \n\nBush Runner by Mark Bourrie \nBiblioasis \n\n \nWith a life that would rival any adventure hero’s\, Pierre-Esprit Radisson’s unbelievable story is only now being told. Born in France in the late 1630s and immigrating to Quebec as a child\, Radisson was like a frontiersman Forrest Gump—he travelled the world\, met some of the most influential figures in history\, and took risks no sensible person would take in any age. Spending his life trying to succeed in the fur trade business\, Radisson was continuously thwarted by kings\, princes\, and the revolutionary events of his time\, eventually retiring to England with a bounty on his head and dying in 1710. Sourced from his journals\, which opened to the public for the first time in 2017\, Bush Runner is a true-life adventure story like no other—and will engross and fascinate readers everywhere. \n000000
