8:30pm, Saturday May 3 at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa — "When it comes to storytelling, Amal El-Mohtar is like one of the grammarians of Thistleford, a magician capable of deftly transforming the familiar into the unfamiliar and the numinous into the humane. The River Has Roots is an utterly enchanting tale of love and longing, language and song, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.”" - Fonda Lee| Ottawa International Writers Festival
