The Globe 100In just its third year, The Globe and Mail's listing of the best work reviewed over the past 12 months has become highly anticipated. Herewith the Books editors' choices of the very best in both fiction and non-fiction. Think of it as a guide for a winter's reading or giving. The Dress Lodger U.S. writer Sheri Holman's second novel is a complex, Dickensian entertainment that employs dreadful suspense, heartbreaking characterization and an appropriately mannered prose to tell its morality tale of a 15-year-old girl in 19th-century England who's a labourer by day and a prostitute by night. Carefully researched, with a surprisingly affecting end. Andrew Pyper |
