The bequest lies mostly undisturbed for half a century, until he and his wife decide to uncover just where the truth lies. What's intended to be a search for family, identity, leads instead to history, to events which are best left undisturbed. Before long, they discover themselves immersed in the odd, the unusual and the lethal, as their search tumbles its way across both a world and through its history. From America to Asia, Scotland to Saudi, they discover that old wounds can remain sore, old injuries never heal, the desire for vengeance never fade. That sometimes the only way to survive isn't to heal, but to destroy. From Nations to Nomads, there's a universal desire to bury these secrets, with any who carry them. Will these exceptional grandparents survive to uncover the perfidious events of anywhere up to century or more past, events that continue to shape our world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of The Globe and Mail's Globe 100: Best Books of 2014 Every weekend, in cities around the world, bleary-eyed diners wait in line to be served overpriced, increasingly outré food by hungover waitstaff. For some, the ritual we call brunch is a beloved pastime; for others, a bedeviling waste of time. But what does its popularity say about shifting attitudes towards social status and leisure? In some ways, brunch andother forms of conspicuous consumption have blinded us to ever-more-precarious employment conditions. For award-winning writer and urbanist Shawn Micallef, brunch is a way to look more closely at the nature of work itself and a catalyst for solidarity among the so-called creative class. Drawing on theories from Thorstein Veblen to Richard Florida, Micallef traces his own journey from the rust belt to a cosmopolitan city where the evolving middle class he joined was obliviousto its own instability and insularity. The Trouble with Brunch is a provocative analysis of foodie obsession and status anxiety, but it's also a call to reset our class consciousness. The real trouble with brunch isn't so much bad service and outsized portions of bacon, it's that brunch could be so much more. 'At the crux of it, Micallef's issue with brunch is a lack of self-awareness, and his book is essentially a call to arms to consider the implications of one's actions, even for something as innocuous as meeting friends for eggs and mimosas.' - Bookslut Praise for Shawn Micallef: 'As Toronto grows into a more mature, more compelling city, a new group of non-academic, street-smart urbanists has emerged to appreciate it - with-it young writers, architects and men and women about town who love big cities and see things in Toronto that most of usmiss. Shawn Micallef is one of the sharpest of this sharp-eyed breed.' - Globe and Mail 'A smart and intimate guide to the city that makes you feel like an insider from start to finish.' - Douglas Coupland [on Stroll]
