What happens when fear comes home to live, and a town turns on itself?
Unity (1918), set in the real Saskatchewan town of Unity, is a vivid
recounting of the effects of the Spanish Flu epidemic in the final days
of WW I. Written by Kamloops’ own Governor General’s Award winning
Kevin Kerr, Unity (1918) is a surprisingly funny tale of devastating
loss and bittersweet ties on the Canadian prairies.

“Kerr’s splendid new creation [UNITY (1918)] is a work of powerful and
moving familiarity, a kind of secular liturgy that celebrates love, sex,
death and the sorrowful mysteries of war and plague. It’s also painfully
funny.” – Globe & Mail
