Join us to celebrate Kristen den Hartog’s latest book, The Roosting Box: Rebuilding the Body After the Frist World War, a chronicle of patients and staff at a military hospital, and a fascinating account of the hospital itself, housed in a cash register factory. Short-listed for the Toronto Book Award, the story reveals war’s profound impact on ordinary people, and the medical innovations and societal changes it spurred. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Everyone welcome.
Thursday October 10th 6:30-8pm in the Deep River Library Program Room
