The Grey Lady

a quebec spring mystery

By: Nadine Doolittle

Secrets, lies and hidden hates.... Hester Warnock fell in love with the charismatic Malcolm Driver in 1974 while at his farm-turned-commune, an affair that ended abruptly when a young pregnant girl was found drowned in the lake. Thirty-five years later, now a successful magazine publisher, Hester is invited back to the scene of the crime to participate in a documentary of Malcolm’s life and times as the bestselling author of Spirit Driver. The documentary never gets off the ground. In the middle of a fierce rainstorm, she finds Malcolm hanging from a tree. Hester holds a clue that proves her ex-lover's death wasn’t suicide but her guilty past begins to haunt her. As she unravels the secrets of seven suspects, Hester draws closer to the truth about herself. Set in Quebec, Canada, The Grey Lady combines traditional murder mystery with psychological crime fiction. For fans of Liane Moriarty, Ruth Rendell and P.D. James. "As with any good mystery, virtually everyone has something to hide ... tightly written and perfectly paced, we feel we are being swept along by the story like a fallen branch in a fast-flowing river of spring runoff."

The River Bride

a quebec summer mystery

By: Nadine Doolittle

Marlee Bremer claims her husband is a sexual deviant. Trey Bremer insists it was only a game. Seven years ago, the Bremer family's au pair was found brutally slain in an abandoned trailer. Tried and convicted for the girl's murder, Trey Bremer has always asserted his innocence. The truth of what really happened to Teresa Musgrave that day begins to unravel when an anonymous note arrives at The Stollerton Record. On the hunt for the big story that could save her career, Alvina Moon is caught up in a disturbing crime and the victim’s beautiful, troubled artist husband. "Beyond just being an interesting setting, readers will find that, as they navigate the twists and turns of the story, the setting will play its part. This story is a psychological thriller, as much about unraveling relationships and desperate people as it is about revisiting an old mystery." ~ Mojo Fiction

Iced Under

a quebec winter mystery

By: Nadine Doolittle

2009 Shortlist for Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel (Crime Fiction) The ice was clear that year, clear as rain right down to the bottom.... A bitter divorce drives Sara Wolesley to abandon her comfortable urban life, and with her two young daughters in tow, she takes up residence in a rundown cottage on a frozen lake in Quebec. The rashness of this action soon becomes apparent when the pipes in the cottage freeze. With no money, no job prospects, and now no water, Sara is close to a breakdown when she discovers the body of a child trapped under the ice. Her name is Oralee Pelletier and she has been missing for five months. As Detective Sergeant Rompré of the MRC des Collines Police launches his investigation, Sara is drawn into the lives of the mother of the child who has a secret, her former friend who has all the answers, and that of a quiet solitary man with a past no one wants to talk about. When there is a second suspicious death and nothing adds up, Sara doesn't know who can be trusted in the seemingly idyllic village of St. Jude. Recommended for readers of women’s crime fiction in the style of Louise Penny, Ruth Rendell and P.D. James. "A mixture of literature, mystery, and romance. The story soars thanks to Doolittle's elegant and poetic language..." ~ Montreal Review of Books

Better Britons

Better Britons

Reproduction, National Identity, and the Afterlife of Empire

By: Nadine Attewell

In 1932, Aldous Huxley published Brave New World, his famous novel about a future in which humans are produced to spec in laboratories. Around the same time, Australian legislators announced an ambitious experiment to “breed the colour” out of Australia by procuring white husbands for women of white and indigenous descent. In this study, Nadine Attewell reflects on an assumption central to these and other policy initiatives and cultural texts from twentieth-century Britain, Australia, and New Zealand: that the fortunes of the nation depend on controlling the reproductive choices of citizen-subjects. Better Britons charts an innovative approach to the politics of reproduction by reading an array of works and discourses – from canonical modernist novels and speculative fictions to government memoranda and public debates – that reflect on the significance of reproductive behaviours for civic, national, and racial identities. Bringing insights from feminist and queer theory into dialogue with work in indigenous studies, Attewell sheds new light on changing conceptions of British and settler identity during the era of decolonization.

Queen

The Life and Music of Dinah Washington

By: Nadine Cohodas

Queen is the landmark biography of the brief, intensely lived life and soulful music of the great Dinah Washington. A gospel star at fifteen, she was discovered by jazz great Lionel Hampton at eighteen, and for the rest of her life was on the road, playing clubs, or singing in the studio--making music one way or another. Dinah's tart and heartfelt voice quickly became her trademark; she was a distinctive stylist, crossing over from the "race" music category to the pop and jazz charts. Known in her day as Queen of the Blues and Queen of the Juke Boxes, Dinah was regarded as that rare "first take" artist, her studio recordings reflecting the same passionate energy she brought to the stage. As Nadine Cohodas shows us, Dinah suffered her share of heartbreak in her personal life, but she thrived on the growing audience response that greeted her signature tunes: "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes," "Evil Gal Blues," and "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)," with Brook Benton. She made every song she sang her own. Dinah lives large in these pages, with her seven marriages; her penchant for clothes, cars, furs, and diets; and her famously feisty personality--testy one moment and generous the next. This biography, meticulously researched and gracefully written, is the first to draw on extensive interviews with family members and newly discovered documents. It is a revelation of Dinah's work and her life. Cohodas captures the Queen in all her contradictions, and we hear in this book the voice of a natural star, born to entertain and to be loved.

Urban Bush Women

Twenty Years of African American Dance Theater, Community Engagement, and Working It Out

By: Nadine George-Graves

Provocative, moving, powerful, explicit, strong, unapologetic. These are a few words that have been used to describe the groundbreaking Brooklyn-based dance troupe Urban Bush Women. Their unique aesthetic borrows from classical and contemporary dance techniques and theater characterization exercises, incorporates breath and vocalization, and employs space and movement to instill their performances with emotion and purpose. Urban Bush Women concerts are also deeply rooted in community activism, using socially conscious performances in places around the country—from the Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Center, and the Joyce, to community centers and school auditoriums—to inspire audience members to engage in neighborhood change and challenge stereotypes of gender, race, and class. Nadine George-Graves presents a comprehensive history of Urban Bush Women since their founding in 1984. She analyzes their complex work, drawing on interviews with current and former dancers and her own observation of and participation in Urban Bush Women rehearsals. This illustrated book captures the grace and power of the dancers in motion and provides an absorbing look at an innovative company that continues to raise the bar for socially conscious dance.
