A Manitoba author known for her non-fiction will be reading from her first novel in Dauphin.
Karen Emilson will be at Dauphin's library on September 29th, reading from her new book Be Still the Water, which is set in 1906 in Manitoba's Interlake.
She says it is fiction but she's worked in true incidents from the time period.
"It centres around the Icelandic immigrants (in) the early 1900s and it's the story of a family, and one woman's lifelong search for her missing sister and the sacrifices that she makes throughout her life."
Emilson is the author of "Where Children Run" and "When Memories Remain," which Dauphin library director Jean-Louis Guillas says are among the books most commonly stolen from the library.
