Book Nook discussion: “Looking For Jane” by Heather Marshall
Join us as we discuss Looking for Jane, Heather Marshall's bestselling Canadian historical fiction novel. Inspired by real events, the story follows three women across different decades whose lives become intertwined through a hidden chapter of Canadian history: an underground network that helped women access illegal abortions before abortion was decriminalized in Canada.
This powerful novel explores themes of:
Motherhood in many forms
Adoption and family secrets
Women's reproductive rights
Friendship and solidarity
The lasting impact of choices made under impossible circumstances
Canadian social history, including the experiences of women before abortion was legalized in 1988
