Award-winning author Jane Urquhart joins us to discuss her brilliant new novel, . In the early morning dark, Emer McConnell rises for a day of teaching music in the schools of rural Saskatchewan. While she travels the snowy roads in the gathering light, she begins another journey, one of recollection and introspection, and one that will leave the reader forever changed. Moving as effortlessly through time as the drift of memory itself, is a major work of imagination and self-exploration from one of the greatest writers of our time.

Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
