SUMMARY:Ben McNally/Globe & Mail RBC Taylor Prize Books and Brunch
DESCRIPTION:When: \nSunday March 5\, 10.00 am  \nWhere: \nKing Edward Hotel\, 37 King St E. \nBrunch is served in the Vanity Fair Ballroom on the second floor of the King Edward Hotel. \nTickets are $55.00 each (taxes included) and must be purchased in advance. \nTickets are non-refundable. \nPlease call us at 416.361.0032 with your credit card information to reserve tickets \n\nBy Chance Alone by Max Eisen \nHarperCollins \n\n \nMore than 70 years after the Nazi camps were liberated by the Allies\, a new Canadian Holocaust memoir details the rural Hungarian deportations to Auschwitz-Birkenau\, back-breaking slave labour in Auschwitz I\, the infamous “death march” in January 1945\, the painful aftermath of liberation\, a journey of physical and psychological healing. \n\nPumpkinflowers by Matti Friedman \nMcClelland and Stewart \n\n \nIt was small hilltop in a small\, unnamed war in the late 1990s\, but it would send out ripples that continue to emanate worldwide today. The hill was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for “casualties.” Friedman’s visceral narrative recreates harrowing wartime experiences in a work that is part frontlines memoir\, part journalistic reporting\, part military history. \n\nMad Enchantment by Ross King \nBond Street Books \n\n \nWe have all seen—live\, in photographs\, on postcards—some of Claude Monet’s legendary water lily paintings. They are in museums all over the world\, and are among the most admired paintings of our time. Yet nobody knows the extraordinarily dramatic story behind their creation. Telling that story is the brilliant historian\, Ross King—and in the process\, he presents a compelling and original portrait of perhaps the most beloved artist in history. \n\nMarconi by Marc Raboy \nOxford University Press \n\n \nBehind so much of what we take for granted in the world of instantaneous communication towers Guglielmo Marconi. Thanks to his wireless system\, which came into full use about a century ago\, the cables that had constrained communication disappeared. Through a combination of skill\, luck\, vision\, and timing\, Marconi popularized-and\, more critically\, patented-a radio system that profoundly and irrevocably changed the way the world communicated. \n\nThis is Not My Life by Diane Schoemperlen \nHarperCollins \n\n \nFor almost six turbulent years\, award-winning writer Diane Schoemperlen was involved with a prison inmate serving a life sentence for second-degree murder. The relationship surprised no one more than her. How do you fall in love with a man with a violent past? How do you date someone who is in prison? This Is Not My Life is the story of the romance between Diane and Shane—how they met and fell in love\, how they navigated passes and parole and the obstacles facing a long-term prisoner attempting to return to society\, and how\, eventually\, things fell apart. \n000000
