Across the Country

I thought it would be interesting to focus on reading authors from each province and territory. I have lived in BC and Ontario and enjoyed numerous authors from those provinces. And I am now in NS and am finding quite a bit in the Maritimes. However, I grew up in Alberta and don't know of any Alberta authors, or perhaps I haven't looked hard enough. Looking for Alberta suggestions, and for other prov/territories.

Nancy Huston is an Alberta-born writer I like.

>1 Brenda.G.H: Hi Brenda! I just sent you a friend request (I hope you don't mind). I moved to Halifax 4 years ago and I'm an avid reader. I see we share a lot of the same books! I made my own challenge for 2023 to "read across Canada" but haven't really started to gather the books I'm going to read. I'm interested in seeing your choices.

The Outlander and Ridgerunner by Gil Adamson are both excellent. I also liked The Garneau Block and Bow Grip. Although he is not based in Alberta several of Thomas King's books are set there. The first Thomas King book I ever read was Green Grass, Running Water which is set mostly in an indigenous community is southern Alberta.

I was born in Montreal and moved away at 9 years of age. One book that really evoked my memories of Montreal and the interactions among neighbours is The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant by Michel Tremblay.
