Adult Book Club

Black Water by David A. Robertson

Love it or hate it, come and discuss it! Our Book Clubs are a great way to meet other book lovers and participate in lively discussions.

Sessions are led by our own professional book lovers (a.k.a. OPL staff members). 

This month we will be discussing Black Water: Family, Legacy, and Blood Memory by David Robertson, a family memoir of intergenerational trauma and healing. This is the story of how David Robertson's father's life--growing up in Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba, then making the journey from Norway House to Winnipeg--informed the author's own life, and might even have saved it. Facing a story nearly erased by the designs of history, father and son journey together back to the trapline at Black Water, through the past to create a new future.

Registration is required. 

Copies of the book will be available for pick up at the Glen Abbey service desk starting August 25th for registered participants.
