Book excerpt: On a late summer day along the shores of Nova Scotia, a young woman makes a mistake that will claim her life, while at the other end of the beach her brother, Damian, is unaware that she is drowning. Beginning with this shattering event, Anne Simpson’s mesmerizing novel unfolds in unexpected ways. A year after the accident, Damian and his mother, Ingrid, travel to Niagara Falls to scatter Lisa’s ashes and to visit Ingrid’s estranged brother, once a famous daredevil of the Falls, now blind, and his mentally disabled son. But old wounds and new misunderstandings soon collide. Damian, burdened by guilt, finds solace in an intense relationship with a girl he first glimpses in a tattoo parlour. A runaway with dreams of New York City, Jasmine has her own reasons for wanting to escape the past. Meanwhile, Ingrid, having reluctantly returned to her childhood home, finds herself at odds with her brother and besieged by memories. As the summer progresses, each of them becomes caught in the pull of the past — until an act of recklessness shocks them into a new course for the future. In startling, luminous language, Anne Simpson captures both the natural beauty and tawdry eccentricity of Niagara Falls, while evoking the elemental bonds that tie us to the ones we love. By turns uncompromising and heartbreakingly tender, Falling is a riveting story of ordinary people poised on the knife-edge of grief and hope. With this, her second novel, Anne Simpson proves herself to be one of our most striking and original writers.

The captivating robber baron sets her heart aflame once more, leading to a champagne-fueled night together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nobody Loves for Nothing” is a kaleidoscope woven through ten stories that capture the vicissitudes of the lives we live. As you sail through these tales, you capture animistic images of our existence painted with hues of sensuality, greed, simplicity, solitude, desire, betrayal, love and death. A man suddenly gifted the dreamlike life he always wanted to live. Rabin tries to discover the truth of life after a crude setback throwing his life out of gear. Why did a bride quite unexpectedly become crazy during her nuptials? What happened to the retired old man when he suddenly got a fortune from nowhere? Somebody used the pretext of survival to exploit even his closest relations and maneuver everything at his disposal. Elsewhere, a young student sadly discovered that his role model, an old thespian, changed when he faced temptation. A young man desperately wants to get back his ex-girlfriend… If the life of a person is something like being “thrown into this ruthless world without a choice,” then “Nobody Loves for Nothing” is a collage of these men and women and their images around us.
