Elusive Dawn Book 2 of "The Muskoka Novels" by Gabriele Wills
It happened slowly at first. Thread by thread, the fabric of privilege and complacency enveloping the Wyndham family began to unravel. A carefree summer at their island house, disrupted by the arrival of long lost kin, ended in tragedy, betrayal, and war. Now, in the compelling sequel to the acclaimed epic, The Summer Before The Storm, Ria and her friends find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. It's late summer, 1916. While some members of the Wyndham family revel in the last resplendent days of the season at their Muskoka cottage, others continue to be drawn inexorably into the "Great War", going from a world of misty sunrises across a tranquil lake to deadly moonlight bombing raids, festering trenches, and visceral terror. For Ria, too many things have happened to hope that life would ever return to normal, that innocence could be regained. Caught in the vortex of turbulent events and emotions, she abandons the relative safety of the sidelines in Britain for the nightmare of France. Her fate as an ambulance driver remains entwined with that of her summer friends, all bound by a sense of duty. Living in the shadows of fear and danger awakens the urgency to grasp life, to live more immediately, more passionately amid the enormity of unprecedented death. Together, their lives weave a tale of liberation and loss, evolution and redemption. Those who survive this cataclysmic time are forever changed, like Canada itself. Impeccably researched, beautifully written, Elusive Dawn will resonate with the reader long after the final page has been turned.

Six Off 66 by David Daniel
David Daniel's knack for mystery shines in these stories that are marked most by what details are left unwritten. Each piece is masterfully crafted, stunningly clear as it wanders off to end in defiance of expectation, but not of experience. In "Collecting," things go fast when an out-of-work family man takes to knocking over hoodlums rather than taking up the dole; but rather than escalate into a preachy and hackneyed resolution, his crimes stop just as quickly as he returns to his senses. "The Man Who Dreamed of Death" doesn't die and it doesn't matter. These and the other Four Off 66 thrill for what Daniel reveals and obscures. We have not only to reflect upon what does or doesn't happen in these stories, but also on the choices behind them and, finally, all the other ways that things could be.
