Join us to launch Carolyn Marie Souaid's second novel, Looking for Her. Set in Montreal, Ottawa and Nunavik, Looking for Her explores the intersecting lives of three women in search of themselves.ABOUT THE BOOK
Cate, 43, is a university professor in an unfulfilling marriage. When Nuna, the young Inuk woman she mentors, disappears, Cate and her new friend, Isabel, 28, set out on a journey to find her. On the road, their friendship is tested, Nuna remains elusive, and Cate must contend with her ever-demanding husband who wants her to come home. As lead after lead falls through and the search reaches a critical impasse, Cate makes an important decision to stop living for others and finally live life on her own terms.
