Are you ready to start over?

Canada Reads 2016 is all about starting over. All five books centre on themes of transformation and second chances; stories about people choosing — or being forced to choose — a dramatically different course in life.
Until the big reveal, you can explore the long list.
The official debates will begin on March 21 and run until March 24.
