I’ve got The Unit on my wishlist. Perhaps I need to seek it out.

Glad you wrote this post. I hadn’t heard of Carr until I looked up information on The Forest Lover.

Kailana, I really loved it. I’m not that into art, especially Indian totem poles, but I loved hearing about her life and her struggles and triumphs.

hmm, I am reading Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland right now. Coincidence!

fictional biographical look at one of Canada’s foremost female artists.
Who is this? I havent’ heard of this book at all, but I am intrigued.

Great maple leaves falling… We may have to make you honorary Canadian.

Hope you get well soon! And no, I’ve no idea about the books you mention here. But I will keep them in mind

I am seeing mixed reviews of The Forest Lover. I can’t figure out whether to read it or not.
