Reparations is the name of the legal thriller by Stephen Kimber, an award -winning journalist and broadcaster. This book was published in 2006 by HarperCollins Canada (ISBN 0002005646). This is a provocative and sophisticated legal thriller fuelled by power, sex, the politics of race and the quest for justice.

Stephen Kimber takes us back to the 1970's in Nova Scotia to explore the relationship between race relations and power.

Summary

The book is about two boyhood best friends. One black, one white who have grown up and apart. Ray, the son of Africville's last schoolmaster, had a brief moment in the '70s as a black activist leader and is now a jaded lawyer specializing in real estate deals and plea bargains. Ward, the son of a blackballed fisherman, who in the '70s was the province's most promising young politician, has become a judge. Now, more than 25 years after they fell in love with the same woman, the two men must face each other again, this time in a courtroom. The explosive trial will force both of them to finally confront the demons of their own pasts and reveal secrets they've kept hidden.
