Description:
<p><b>Selected as an Amazon.ca Best Book of 2013, a Canada Reads Top 40 Pick, and a NOW Magazine Book of the Year</b></p><p>While in Copenhagen, Sara Wheeler, a Toronto journalist, happens upon Cirkus Mirak, a touring Ethiopian children&#39;s circus. She later meets and is convinced to drive the circus founder, Raymond Renaud, through the night from Toronto to Montreal. Such chance beginnings lead to later fateful encounters, as renowned novelist Catherine Bush artfully confronts the destructive power of allegations.</p> <p>With <i>Accusation</i>, Bush again proves herself one of Canada&#39;s finest authors as she examines the impossibility inherent in attempting to uncover &#34;the truth.&#34; After a friend of Sara&#39;s begins work on a documentary about the circus, unsettling charges begin to float to the surface, disturbing tales of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of Raymond. Accounts and anecdotes mount, denunciations fly, and while Sara tries to untangle the narrative knots and determine what to believe, the concept of a singular &#40;truth&#41; becomes slippery. Her present search is simultaneously haunted by her past.</p> <p>Moving between Canada, Ethiopia, and Australia, <i>Accusation</i> follows a network of lives that intersect with life-altering consequence, painfully revealing that the best of intentions can still lead to disaster, yet from disaster spring seeds of renewal and hope.</p>
