MACINTYRE, LINDEN

Punishment

Toronto: Random House Canada, 2014. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0345813901. Sticker removed from front free end paper ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; 9.06 X 6.38 X 1.57 inches; 421 pages; "In Punishment, his first novel since completing his Long Stretch trilogy, Scotiabank Giller-winner Linden MacIntyre brings us a powerful exploration of justice and vengeance, and the peril that ensues when passion replaces reason, in a small town shaken by a tragic death. Forced to retire early from his job as a corrections officer in Kingston Penitentiary, Tony Breau has limped back to the village where he grew up to lick his wounds, only to find that Dwayne Strickland, a young con he’d had dealings with in prison is back there too–and once again in trouble. Strickland has just been arrested following the suspicious death of a teenage girl, the granddaughter of Caddy Stewart, Tony’s first love. Tony is soon caught in a fierce emotional struggle between the outcast Strickland and the still alluring Caddy. And then another figure from Tony’s past, the forceful Neil Archie MacDonald–just retired in murky circumstances from the Boston police force–stokes the community’s anger and suspicion and an irresistible demand for punishment. As Tony struggles to resist the vortex of vigilante action, Punishment builds into a total page-turner that blindsides you with twists and betrayals.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .

The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery Vol. 1, 1889

Toronto, ON: Oxford University Press, 1985. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 019540503X. Pages toned, some damage to lower edge of dustjacket, creasing and short tear at top edge ; DJ in Mylar A bright solid, book ; B&W Photographs; 9.5 x 1.25 x 6 Inches; 424 pages; "A bestseller in Canada, this book will fascinate the legions of devoted readers of Anne of Green Gables and Montgomery's other Anne books. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) kept extensive journals for most of her life, beginning them in 1889 when she was fourteen and continuing them until shortly before her death. Spontaneous and frank, they are unusual for their narrative interest: Montgomery's gifts as a storyteller are as muchin evidence here as in her novels. This first volume takes her to 1910, the year before her marriage, and culminates with the publication of Anne of Green Gables. The autobiographical content will intrigue every dedicated fan of the Anne books. But the Montgomery journals are especially interesting because they provide a unique social history and the privelege of viewing closely the life of a remarkable woman.".
