Don’t miss this shared reading experience! More than 1000 public
libraries across Canada are participating in this year’s national
bilingual eBook club. Starting April 1 (and that's no April Fools Day
joke!), and for the entire month, you can download the eBook of The
Break by Katherena Vermette for free from your local library website –
no waitlist and no limit to how many people can borrow at the same time!
The
Break has won awards and great reviews since it was published in 2016,
and it’s a story no one should miss out on reading for the drama, the
characters, the intrigue and the chance to discover other lives, other
places, other people, as only reading great fiction can do the novel has
been called a powerful intergenerational family saga… and a window on
to the lives of people in Winnipeg’s North End. Readers have been moved
by the engrossing, tender and realistic story beautifully told through
the perspectives of unforgettable characters.
This is a rare
opportunity to read a recent and popular Canadian eBook simultaneously
with thousands of others across Canada. Books are an important means of
connecting and understanding the world around us and the importance of
being able access to digital content has never been so evident as it has
been during the pandemic.
Treat yourself to a national shared
reading experience! Through One eRead Canada, libraries from Vancouver
Island to Newfoundland and Labrador to the Yukon are facilitating
bringing people together to read or listen to a single title, at the
same time to engage with each other over their thoughts and feelings
about the book and how it impacted them.
Mark your calendars to
tune in to two live interactive conversations on Facebook and Twitter
with the author Katherena Vermette speaking to CBC`s Shelagh Rogers,
host of The Next Chapter on April 20 in English, and with the
translator Mélissa Verreault speaking with Radio-Canada`s Marie-Louise
Arsenault, host of Plus on est de fous, plus on lit! on April 21, in
French. We invite you to download The Break and engage with others
reading the book online through One eRead’s Twitter as well as on Facebook.
