Time to turn on your air conditioner in your car and head to the beach, but don't forget to take a good book with you. And if it helps, here are some reviews of great ones. This month, our core and guest reviewers give their insights on recent works of fiction by Patrick DeWitt, Jane Urquhart, Linden MacIntyre, Tristan Hughes, Peter Robinson and Ottawa's Natalka Roshka. And with this issue, ORB is now officially on summer break. We will be back in September :)
