In the final installment of Nino Ricci's acclaimed Vittorio Innocente trilogy, we find Ricci's hero Vittorio strangely drawn to his half-sister Rita. After a disturbing moment between them, he realizes that what he's been searching for is not just his sister—it's their shared history and secret burdens. At once a resolution of previous tensions and a luminous portrayal of discovery and absolution, Where She Has Gone completes a haunting trilogy of the immigrant experience.

(A child of Trudeau's expansive immigration policies looks...)
A child of Trudeau's expansive immigration policies looks at the man who changed his family's life and our collective vision of Canada. Love him or hate him, Pierre Trudeau has marked us all. The man whose motto was "reason over passion"managed to arouse in Canadians the fiercest of passions of every hue, ones that even today cloud our view of him and of his place in history. Acclaimed novelist Nino Ricci takes as his starting point the crucial role Trudeau played in the formation of his own sense of identity to look at how Trudeau expanded us as a people, not in spite of his contradictions but because of them.
