Community Meeting Room

Join us at the Squamish Public Library as we welcome back local author Nora Ryan. Nora is launching her newest novel: Nell’s Quiet Revolution.

Nora will be reading from the book, as well as answering questions about the story and her writing process.

Nell is starting to lose faith. The family keeps expanding, it’s getting harder to make ends meet and her husband is stuck in a rut. It’s time to make a change, get a job and find some contraceptives. Good luck, Nell, it’s the 1970’s and you’re in Catholic, Ireland. 

Nell’s Quiet Revolution takes the reader into the heart of a family’s life and one woman's determined effort to change its trajectory.  

Books will be available for sale at this event.

About the Author: Nora Ryan

Social and spiritual themes are the substance of Nora Ryan’s work. Stories rooted in the soil of everyday life take flight through fiction where truth is explored unfettered.

Nora Ryan is a pen name.  The author has chosen this name to honor her paternal grandmother who was born in an age when women did not have a voice. Born in Ireland, Ryan moved to Canada in 1981. She currently lives in Squamish British Columbia.
