By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas | Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize Selected by Time as One of the Ten Best Books of the Year | A New York Times Notable Book | Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post Book World, The Christian Science Monitor, Rocky Mountain News, and Kirkus Reviews | A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist | Winner of the ALA Alex Award | Finalist for the Costa Novel Award From award-winning writer David Mitchell comes a sinewy, meditative novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new. Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982. But the thirteen chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys’ games on a frozen lake; of “nightcreeping” through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid-fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power-hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both more and less than she appears; of Jason’s search to replace his dead grandfather’s irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran LPs, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher’s recession; of Gypsies camping in the woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow-motion divorce in four seasons. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell’s subtlest and most effective achievement to date. Praise for Black Swan Green “[David Mitchell has created] one of the most endearing, smart, and funny young narrators ever to rise up from the pages of a novel. . . . The always fresh and brilliant writing will carry readers back to their own childhoods. . . . This enchanting novel makes us remember exactly what it was like.”—The Boston Globe “[David Mitchell is a] prodigiously daring and imaginative young writer. . . . As in the works of Thomas Pynchon and Herman Melville, one feels the roof of the narrative lifted off and oneself in thrall.”—Time

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky sat an old stone house built before the Revolutionary War. It had been a place that cried out for many years while ghosts of the past walked its halls. The house had seen good and evil and screamed out for the justice that it deserved. Many had come and gone as the house waited for the rightful owner. The stone house would only permit the one who would bring beauty and happiness back to enter through its doors. Colton had dedicated his life to being a deputy. His love for his town, family, and job had cost him the love of a woman. His trust in women had made him bitter and distrustful. He wasn't willing to put his heart on the line again. A new beginning, a new future, a new lease on life. Quinn had waited for a chance to escape the trauma she had endured at the hands of her fiance, a man who she loved. In one drunken fit of rage, it was all gone. She never looked back as she fled Boston. Defiance and battles lead to hope, love, and devotion as Colton and Quinn butted heads, trying to find their way. A secret room was revealed. Would the magic return to the mountains and the land surrounding the house? And if not, how long would it last before death and despair would try to destroy it again? The Scottish clans would have to stand together to ensure their beliefs and traditions were not silenced again as their ancestors once were.

The history of indigenous political action in Canada is long, hard-fought, and little told. By the mid-1900s, Native peoples across western Canada were actively involved in their own political unions in a drive to be heard outside their own, often isolated, reserve communities. In Alberta, Johnny Callihoo and Metis leader Malcolm Norris founded the Indian Association of Alberta (IAA), which came to represent a large body of treaty Indian peoples across the province.
