Just completed Kicking the Sky by Anthony De Sa. This is his first novel following his highly acclaimed book of short stories called Barnacle Love. The novel is built around the abduction and murder of a young Portuguese boy in Toronto in the 70s. The aftermath in the Portuguese community as seen through the eyes of an 11 year old boy and his friends is a great coming of age story and provides a good window in that time and community.
Also just finished Emancipation Day by Wayne Grady. This is a really interesting novel addressing post WW2 racism in Windsor Ontario.
I just started reading Wool. It's been a while since reading some sci fi and it seems highly recommended.
