Jun 22, June 21st BOOK GIVEAWAY: More in Anger by J. Jill Robinson.
More in Anger by J. Jill Robinson is a fascinating look at what we inherit.
When I asked J. Jill Robinson "why this book" she spoke of emptying out the homes of each of her parents when they died. She and her siblings chose what to take away and keep. But what about those things we inherit that we don't want?
As J. Jill Robinson puts it, what if: "what we inherit is not welcome at all. I began to think about what could happen when what one inherited was anger, not a trinket or curly hair, and I came to realize that in my writing I wanted to explore what happens when that anger is what is passed along through generations. And I thought long and hard about how anger affects not only the angry person herself—yes, in my novel, it’s mostly the women who are angry--at themselves, at their parents, at life itself—but also the people around them—husbands; children."
Some of the best writers in Canada are praising this book.

Jun 15, June 14th BOOK GIVEAWAY:The Life and Art of Ina D.D. Uhthoff by Christina Johnson-Dean
June 14th BOOK GIVEAWAY on BookClubBuddy.com: The Life and Art of Ina D.D. Uhthoff by Christina Johnson-Dean, detailing the life of artist, columnist, and founder of the Victoria School of Art.
In this fifth book in the Unheralded Artists of B.C. series, the life and art of Ina D.D. Uhthoff is revealed. Known as the “doyen of Victoria painters,” Uhthoff’ was an influential twentieth-century artist and hard-working teacher, who sustained a successful career while rearing two children single-handedly.
Though Emily Carr is renowned, Ina Uhthoff, a colleague who was equally supportive of modern trends and a force in her community, has receded from prominence.
It is time to balance our view of the history of art in British Columbia’s capital city and add to the wider picture of the development of the arts in Canada.
This is a gorgeous art book published by Mother Tongue Publishing, with 100 colour and bw photos!
