Elinor Florence--Book Launch (Reading and Signing)

Thursday Jun 07 2018 7:00 pm, Saskatoon, Travel Alcove
NOTE: This event has already taken place. Please visit this page to see our upcoming events.

Join Elinor Florence for the Saskatoon launch of Wildwood (Dundurn). Using old photographs, Elinor will present a brief slide show describing her research into our proud Canadian history.

Set in northern Alberta, Wildwood tells the story of a single mother from the big city who must spend one year living in an abandoned off-the-grid farmhouse. Molly learns the basic pioneer skills, but her greatest perils come from the brutal wilderness itself. Only the journal written by her great-aunt, the original homesteader, inspires her to struggle on.

Elinor Florence grew up on a farm near North Battleford and graduated from the University of Saskatchewan. Beginning at The Western Producer in Saskatoon, she worked as a journalist for many years and now lives in Invermere, British Columbia. Elinor’s first novel Bird’s Eye View, about a Saskatchewan farm girl who joins the air force in World War Two and interprets aerial photographs, was a Toronto Star bestseller.
