ONE BOOK ,ONE PROVINCE 2020 SA SK ATC HE WAN
In March 2020, come together with your local library and book-lovers
across the province to read A Geography of Blood by Candace Savage.
When CandaCe Savage and her partner buy a house in the town of Eastend, she has no idea what awaits her. At first she enjoys exploring the area around their new home, including the boyhood haunts of the celebrated American writer Wallace Stegner, the backroads of the Cypress Hills, the dinosaur skeletons at the T.Rex Discovery Centre, the fossils to be found in the dust-dry hills. She also revels in her encounters with the wild inhabitants of this mys-terious land. But as she explores further, she uncovers a darker reality—a story of cruelty and survival set in the still-recent past—and finds that she must reassess the story she grew up with as the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of prairie homesteaders.
