Karisimo I read this a while back, it‘s earlier than the time frame (1667) but interesting! It‘s more light than literary.

Deblovestoread Yay, something I know nothing about. Love exploring new times, places, issues. Thanks for the recs @LeahBergen 2y

julieclair Ooohhh… I just got back from a trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and heard a lot of interesting tales of immigration. Perfect timing! 🇨🇦 2y

rwmg Hmm, I don't think I've got anything relevant on my shelves but I'll have to look more deeply when LT comes back

Cuilin @julieclair fabulous 2y

Cuilin @rwmg most of us need to do some research on this one. 2y

Coffeymuse Vancouver Public Library has a list that gave me an idea for a book (In the Skin of a Lion by Odnaatje): https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/list/share/80402800/1594560369 2y

Cuilin @Coffeymuse thanks for the link 💕 2y

sblbooks I think this is set in the 60s but maybe a possibility

Indian Horse

sblbooks A new release

In the Upper Country: A Novel

Cuilin @sblbooks 👍 2y

thegreensofa I‘m going to read

A Tale of Two Migrations: A French Canadian Odyssey

Cuilin @thegreensofa oh looking forward to hearing about this one. 2y

rwmg @Cuilin @dabbe I might re-read this as the only thing I've got that seems relevant and fits the timeframe

The Building of Jalna

Cuilin @rwmg looks interesting, it‘s a series too. Have you read the series or just this book? (edited) 2y

rwmg As an adult I've only read the first 4 in the series. My grandmother loved the books and had the whole set. I used to read them when visiting her as a child but I don't really remember much about them from that time. 2y

Cuilin @rwmg I love that story!! Hope you enjoy this reread. 2y
