Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @mermaidtalesbookshop using @RepostRegramApp – Brother is David Chariandy’s “intensely beautiful, searingly powerful, and tightly constructed second novel, exploring questions of masculinity, family, race, and identity as they are played out in a Scarborough housing complex during the sweltering heat and simmering violence of the summer of 1991”. 🇨🇦 Brother is being defended by @lisaraniray in this year’s Canada Reads contest. 🇨🇦Canada Reads is Canada’s annual “Battle of the Books” in which five celebrities champion their favourite books in a competition to decide the winning title that the entire country will be reading. • • • #brother #davidchariandy #fiction #novel #canada #shortlist #canadareads2019 #bookstagram #buylocal #independentbookstore #supportyourlocalbookstore #tofino
