This is an excellent book for readers wanting to understand life here and elsewhere.

Odd, occasionally off-putting and illogical but nonetheless readable, Whitehouse's second novel (after the award-winning Bed) is ultimately a tender tale of love, hope, and family. The author has a way with descriptive turns of phrase. His fondness for his protagonists is evident; readers will find themselves rooting for the unlikely heroes.

Glass
A beautifully illustrated history of glass for those interested in knowing how glassmaking began and how it became the art form it is today. Recommended.

Bed
From a mildly eccentric youth in which he preferred nudity to clothing to his existential crisis at 25, how and why Mal got into bed and stayed there for 20 years is the mystery at the heart of this strange but beguiling tale. Its short, punchy chapters propel the story along to a satisfying conclusion. For most public libraries.—Barbara Love, Kingston Frontenac P.L., Kingston, Ont.
