Two good winter reads are Time Enough by Lise Mayne, a resident of Nanton. It is a riveting historical novel about the emigration of a family from Ireland to Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. The second is Frozen River by Ariel Lawson. It is a historical novel set in the 1700s, and told by the diaries of a midwife. It includes a murder mystery that unhinges a small community in Maine.
