The smell of Spring is in our northern air although a carpet of thick pristine snow still covers the land. There's still time to enjoy a few good books before we dig out our gardening tools and tune up the bicycles. In the March issue of the Ottawa Review of Books, our core and guest reviewers offer you their insights on six recent works of Canadian fiction, including one translation. On the roster are novelists: Wayne Ng, Andrée A. Gratton, Christy Ann Conlin, Gil Adamson, Barbara Fradkin and Matthew Hughes. We hope you enjoy these reviews :)
