Emily Carr's mysterious and possibly damaging treatments in an English sanitarium are incorporated into playwright Margaret Hollingsworth's first novel, Be Quiet (Blue Lake $21). "Be Quiet is a story of ageing and creativity in which Emily Carr becomes a sort of trickster figure, informing the lives of a contemporary woman-who, at 63, is finally breaking away from her job at the university and returning to painting, her daughter and the young stranger who has married her ex-husband."; Set in Canada, France and England, the novel explores two little-known periods in Emily Carr's life during the first decade of the last century. 0-9730831-6-6
