It was the summer of 1916, that precarious year.... Albra Creighton, a young girl from an upper-class family, is caught between her mother's expectations and a growing awareness of her own identity. Drawn into the city's fledgling art world, Albra's painting records the casualties and suffering of two very different wars. Not far away is Gabriel Oban, raised next to the steel mills and the violence of his father's political convictions. Like Albra, Gabriel returns to the innocence of his youth only by seeking a life beyond the reach of his past. As their lives converge, both Albra and Gabriel climb from the ashes of private battles, meeting in a place where each may begin again. A winner of the 2001 Hamilton Literary Awards, Of Water & Wine is a triumphant novel heralding the human quest for meaning and transcendence.

Devil Is a Travelling Man: Two Plays by W.O. Mitchell
W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. <br><em>The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon</em> is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". <br><em>The Devil's Instrument</em> depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine. Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series.
