Night Falls on Damascus holds up a mirror to the continuing puzzle
of the Middle East as it weaves a rich and engrossing tale of
murder, revenge, and the corruption of power. With the introduction
of Inspector Nikolai Faroun, a new type of hero enters the mystery
scene, a man with a hidden past, a Levantine working for a hated
Western regime, a man caught between two worlds who can trust
no one and call no one friend.

Red River (Fiction)

Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own
family to bring us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining
story of two families struggling to make a place for themselves
in an America deeply divided after the Civil War.
For the newly freed black residents of Colfax, Louisiana, the
beginning of Reconstruction promised them the right to vote, own
property, and at last, control their own lives. But in the space
of a day, angry whites would take back Colfax in one of the deadliest
incidents of racial violence in Southern history, In the bitter
aftermath, the Tademys and the Smiths will have to deal with the
wreckage, push on, and build a better life for their sons and
daughters over the next seventy years.
The Olive Route (Non-fiction)

by Carol Drinkwater
Like the Silk Road and the Spice Route, the Olive Route – stretching
2,200 miles from Gibraltar to northern Syria – encompasses not
just a journey, but an epic adventure involving the age-old transportation
of a precious commodity. Carol Drinkwater travelled along this
beautiful and sometimes dangerous route, uncovering ancient stories,
meeting striking and courageous people and tracing its venerable
olive culture.
Tracking the Cretans, Phoenicians, Greeks and the Romans, amongst
others, she eventually finds her way back to her olive farm in
the sun-baked hills of southern France. The Olive Route recounts
a thrilling, heroic, sensual and entertaining journey by the bestselling
author of the much loved Olive series.

Manufactured Landscapes
A feature length documentary
on the world and work of renowned Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky.
Burtynsky makes large-scale photographs of ‘manufactured landscapes’
– quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams. He photographs
civilization’s materials and debris, but in a way people describe
as “stunning” or “beautiful,” and so raises all kinds of questions
about ethics and aesthetics without trying to easily answer
them.

Until May 6th
Sutton Gallery in Sutton
On March 31st Arts Sutton presented its
first member's show of the year. Recent works of about thirty
artists will be featured, all created with the theme of "Awakening"
in mind. Arts Sutton is proud to offer its members the opportunity
to take part in two annual exhibitions. Drawing, painting, sculpting,
photography, ceramic, and mixed media are all represented. Brigite
Normandin, the curator of the exhibition, mentions that the
theme was chosen to celebrate the arrival of spring. She invites
visitors to witness how the artists interpret the theme of awakening
as a double entendre, and in turn awaken our senses with their
own brilliant renditions. This exhibition is on display until
May 6th. Make way for imagination...
