Join author Jo McMillan and local publisher Kevin Duffy of Bluemoose Books to celebrate Jo's new novel, The Accidental Immigrants. Jo and Kevin will be in conversation, and there will be a short reading and audience Q&A followed by a book signing.  -- About the book: Tess and Arlo have made a happy life on St Mira. But the island is not immune to the forces reshaping the world. When a far-right government surges to power, foreigners are their first target. It's time for Tess and Arlo to leave. But what if it's too late?'  A poignant, prescient tale for our times about the dangers ahead and the decisions facing us all.
Aidan Cottrell-Boyce:  The Accidental Immigrants is a triumph: ferociously political and yet deeply personal, it is a soaring feat of the imagination, tethered firmly to the here and now.  Jo McMillan's first novel Motherland won an Arts Council Individual Literature Award and was published by John Murray in 2015.The Happiness Factory, her second novel, was published by Bluemoose in 2022. The Accidental Immigrants is published in January 2025. Prior to working in the publishing industry for 35 years, Kevin Duffy worked in a jigsaw factory, Burger King and as a washer-upper in a hotel. In 2006 with his wife Hetha, they started Bluemoose Books which which according to The Guardian is 'a small but mighty literary hit factory.'

Lavender and Sun

To buy Chinese products, you still have to go to a Chinese store. There is one on South Street, very close to the school, but the products are relatively limited. I usually go to Jiahua, next to Sobeys in Fenwick. The products are relatively complete, and they are basically shipped from Toronto. However, some products may have been stored for a long time, so everyone should pay attention to the expiration date when buying.

Peggys Cove

我见青云多妩媚

Peggy&#39;s Cove is a must-see attraction when visiting Halifax. The lighthouse is on a small island, facing the sea, with beautiful scenery. There are souvenirs and local specialty products on the tower, and it is meaningful to buy some as souvenirs. There are restaurants around, but they are crowded, so we didn&#39;t go. There are also special lobsters, freshly caught from the sea, cooked for you in time, it is very necessary to try them.

【View】Best Museum in the World
No natural history museum can compare (sorry, Smithsonian). It&#39;s huge, but well laid out and modern. The exhibits are special, like the &quot;T-Rex&quot; is exceptional. As a bonus, you get to go inside the Hayden Planetarium. Take the subway from the underground entrance at 81st Street - this is a shorter line.

Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21

Dory·L

The stories of the older generation of Canadian immigrants are here, and they are so touching that you can&#39;t help but cry. This used to be the landing point for immigrants, the dock for passenger ships, and the place where immigration procedures were handled. There are transfer guides inside, and you can listen to them carefully explain the immigration stories of those days.

Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

河糖月色

It&rsquo;s a great museum, very interesting and informative, there&rsquo;s a great exhibition about the Big Bang and the Titanic, and the model ship&rsquo;s exhibition is beautiful, whether it&rsquo;s newly curated.
