Library maps out Toronto's literary neighbourhoods

For those of you in Toronto, or have an interest in books set in and around Toronto, take a look at http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/b...rhood-list.jsp

The neighbourhood library has its share of neighbourhood books.

Toronto Public Library has compiled a list of books set in Toronto neighbourhoods, and then mapped the books by neighbourhood.

A young woman is murdered by a gang after dinner in Chinatown. The child of a single mother attracts the attention of an obsessive neighbour in Cabbagetown. A woman who lives on Toronto Island is haunted by the friendship of her beautiful but evil college friend.

Thank you for posting that - Toronto's my hometown! Wonder if I'll ever make the list....does it count if there are scenes in Toronto?

Thanks, Peter! My nephew's wife is from Toronto, so I emailed her the link.

I do like books set in Canada. I read a dreadful one set in Inuvik while I was living there and it was still interesting just for the place descriptions and the local customs/politics.

I used to live in cabbagetown in 1970. safest area in the city in some ways at that time. People out on their verandahs, balconies at all hours even in the winter. Probably different now.

I think Cabbagetown still has that feel to it (although, please don't quote me!)
