Fall Reads: Books to Curl Up With The season of indoor living is upon us, and while we strongly encourage outdoor activity, curling up with a good book is a perfect way to pass time when the weather’s a bit too nippy. If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace, you may as well throw that in the mix, and maybe a steaming mug of whatever your heart desires. The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews — This new hardcover from celebrated Winnipeg author, Miriam Toews, has the reader as a passenger in a bizarre road trip with a makeshift family. After being dumped by her boyfriend in Paris, Hattie has to come home to Winnipeg to care for her niece and nephew because their mom (Hattie’s sister) has been checked into a psychiatric hospital. Hattie and the two kids (ages 11 and 14) set out on a road trip in a sort of misguided attempt to find the kids’ father. During the journey the reader learns about the history that has set them on this path. In Search of April Raintree 25th Anniversary Editionby Beatrice Mosinoier — This classic book by Winnipeg author, Beatrice Mosionier, has been reprinted to celebrate its 25th anniversary. In Search of April Raintree tells the tale of two sisters who are separated and put into foster care. While they maintain a bond, despite being raised separately, one embraces their Metis heritage while the other would tries to leave it behind. A tragic ending also ends up bringing a much-needed realization. Don’t forget to check out Studio Publications’ titles available for purchase at www.studiopublications.net
