canadian literature is vast and varied.
from classic works from robertson davies and margaret atwood
to new novels that challenge the way we see
common subjects,
canadian literature is something i am fascinated with.
lately i have been absorbing myself in
gorgeous canadian novels
by incredible female authors.
a few i'd recommend:
the birth house by ami mckay
about life as a midwife in a tiny town in 19th century nova scotia
where we have to go by lauren kirshner
a story about a girl growing up in a divided household
fault lines by nancy huston
four intertwined stories of children throughout the 20th century
who are all related and share a dark family secret
relating to world war two
if you're looking for a book to read
consider picking up one of these novels,
or one of the many other canadian novels available...
they are truly delightful!

ReplyDeleteI just had my first sojourn to Canada... and I can safely say it won't be my last! See, I'm an Australian living in LA and never have I been anywhere else in the world where a place and the people remind me so much of home... I truly just adored it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations, I'm due for a new read!
