Swimming with spies

Lucyk-Berger, Chrystyna


"It's February of 2014 in the seaport city of Sevastopol in Crimea. Sofiya Oleksandrivna only wants two things: to figure out a way to get Ilya Ilyich to stop bullying her, and to convince her mother to come back home. But as battleships come to populate the waters around their city and Russian forces, including Ilya's father, start to make their presence known, an even greater threat takes over Sofiya's life. The only escape Sofiya has is the dolphinarium where her father is a trainer at the forefront of teaching sign language to a pod of dolphins. And now the Russian military has ordered the dolphinarium to hand over its animals for military use. As armed Russian troops invade Crimea and conflict and tension continue to rise, Sofiya will do everything she can to keep her pod safe. And what she knows better than any of the soldiers occupying her city, is that the most powerful force is communication."-- Jacket.

De poussiere et de vent

Gareau, Laurier


In this first novel, Fransaskois author Laurier Gareau introduces us to Hubert Lupien, whose life strained by the four winds of the Prairies where he was born will be shaped by the events that shook the century of colonization of Western Canada. From the village of his childhood to the Jesuit college, from the Dust Bowl to the first workers' revolts, from the fight to preserve the language and culture of French Canadians to the intimate struggle that will decide his response to the call for conscription; the story of Hubert Lupien is also that of his contemporaries. The story of a place and a moment whose echo still makes its voice heard here and now. It is a story of a people who constantly wanted to subjugate and who learned the difficult art of living on their feet, despite the merciless wind of history and the dust of men. Dans ce premier roman, l'auteur Fransaskois Laurier Gareau nous présente Hubert Lupien, dont la vie tendue aux quatre vents des Prairies qui l'ont vu naître sera modelée par les évènements qui secouent le siècle de la colonisation de l'Ouest canadien. Du village de son enfance au collège des Jésuites, du Dust Bowl aux premières révoltes ouvrières, de la lutte pour conserver la langue et la culture des Canadiens français à la lutte intime qui décidera de sa réponse à l'appel de la conscription; l'histoire d'Hubert Lupien est aussi celle de ses contemporains. L'histoire d'un lieu et d'un moment dont l'écho fait encore entendre sa voix ici et maintenant. C'est une histoire d'un peuple que l'on a sans cesse voulu assujettir et qui a appris le difficile art de vivre debout, malgré le vent sans pitié de l'histoire et la poussière des hommes. .

We had to be brave : escaping the Nazis on the Kindertransport /

Hopkinson, Deborah,


"Ruth David was growing up in a small village in Germany when Adolf Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. Under the Nazi Party, Jewish families like Ruth's experienced rising anti-Semitic restrictions and attacks. Just going to school became dangerous. By November 1938, anti-Semitism erupted into Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, and unleashed a wave of violence and forced arrests. Days later, desperate volunteers sprang into action to organize the Kindertransport, a rescue effort to bring Jewish children to England. Young people like Ruth David had to say good-bye to their families, unsure if they'd ever be reunited. Miles from home, the Kindertransport refugees entered unrecognizable lives, where food, clothes -- and, for many of them, language and religion -- were startlingly new. Meanwhile, the onset of war and the Holocaust visited unimaginable horrors on loved ones left behind. Somehow, these rescued children had to learn to look forward, to hope. Through the moving and often heart-wrenching personal accounts of Kindertransport survivors, critically acclaimed and award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson paints the timely and devastating story of how the rise of Hitler and the Nazis tore apart the lives of so many families and what they were forced to give up in order to save these children"--

We were the lucky ones

Hunter, Georgia


An extraordinary, propulsive novel based on the true story of a family of Polish Jews who scatter at the start of the Second World War, determined to survive, and to reunite. It is the spring of 1939, and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows ever closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships facing Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurc family will be flung to the far corners of the earth, each desperately trying to chart his or her own path toward safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death by working endless hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an extraordinary will to survive and by the fear that they may never see each other again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. In a novel of breathtaking sweep and scope that spans five continents and six years and transports readers from the jazz clubs of Paris to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to Krakow's most brutal prison and the farthest reaches of the Siberian gulag, We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to the capacity of the human spirit to endure in the face of the twentieth century's darkest moment"-- Provided by publisher.

Mais l'automne est arrive

Brisebois, Marianne


At the crossroads of our universes, there are those moments when we are exhausted, when we need a break from what reminds us that we belong to neither. Too lucid for our old planet, too rebellious, too awakened. Without empathy, without hope, without family. All we are left with is resentment. Then there is this other planet, the one where we are comfortable, but where we will always be tourists, always strange, never accustomed. Here, the back and forth between our two worlds begins to make us forget what it feels like to be dropped off. I would like to find myself at the seaside with Gabriel, to experience a silence that hurts less, to look at him to look at me, to listen to his heart to remind me that I know how to love. United by their common journey, Emma and Gabriel are in tune, discovering life step by step thanks to William and Florence. When dramatic circumstances tear them away from Gaspésie and rush them back to Montreal, their new world collapses. Once you have tasted freedom, it is difficult to go back. It is with the wounds of their past and their fresh perspective that they set out together to face the consequences of their headlong flight. À la croisée de nos univers, il y a de ces moments où nous sommes épuisés, où nous avons besoin d’une pause de ce qui nous rappelle que nous n’appartenons à aucun des deux. Trop lucides pour notre vieille planète, trop révoltés, trop réveillés. Sans empathie, sans espoir, sans famille. Il ne nous reste que du ressentiment. Puis il y a cette autre planète, celle où nous sommes bien, mais où nous serons toujours touristes, toujours étranges, jamais habitués. Ici, les allers-retours entre nos deux mondes commencent à nous faire oublier ce que ça fait que de se déposer. Je voudrais me retrouver au bord de la mer avec Gabriel, faire vivre un silence qui fait moins mal, le regarder pour me regarder, écouter son cœur pour me rappeler que je sais comment aimer. Unis par leur parcours commun, Emma et Gabriel sont au diapason, découvrant la vie pas à pas grâce à William et Florence. Quand des circonstances dramatiques les arrachent à la Gaspésie pour les ramener précipitamment à Montréal, leur nouvel univers s’effondre. Une fois qu’on a goûté à la liberté, il est difficile de retourner en arrière. C’est avec les blessures de leur passé et leur regard neuf qu’ils partent ensemble affronter les conséquences de leur fuite en avant. .

At 16, Émilie has already experienced several host families. When her group home worker tells her that she has found a new family for her, Émilie agrees to move once again, even if reluctantly. However, this time the experience will be different. And not only because the people who welcome her are transgender just like her, but because they are determined to prove to her that she has her place in this family. During this time, her father, with whom she remains in contact, seems to have regained control of her life and offers her the hope of taking her in again. Émilie is troubled: what choice should she make? À 16 ans, Émilie a déjà connu plusieurs familles d’accueil. Lorsque son intervenante au foyer de groupe lui annonce qu’elle lui a trouvé une nouvelle famille, Émilie accepte de déménager une fois de plus, même si c'est à contrecœur. Pourtant, cette fois, l'expérience sera différente. Et pas seulement parce que les personnes qui l’accueillent sont transgenres tout comme elle, mais parce qu’elles sont bel et bien déterminées à lui prouver qu’elle a sa place dans cette famille. Pendant ce temps, son père, avec qui elle demeure en contact, semble avoir repris le contrôle de sa vie et lui fait miroiter l’espoir de l’héberger de nouveau.
