  • In Winter I Get Up at Night

    A Novel

    Jane Urquhart

    Weaving narratives of the different times of her life, this subtle and stunning historical novel tells the story of Emer McConnell, an itinerant music and art teacher in rural Saskatchewan, who as a child survived but was forever changed by a tornado and her resulting injuries. The time she spent recovering in hospital, her love affair with the scientist she calls Harp, and her family relationships are all revealed in a delicate yet profound exploration of colonial expansion, scientific progress, and racial and cultural divisions.
