On the occasion of the International Year of Older Persons, and as part of its public programming, the National Library of Canada recently welcomed first-time author M.P. Rogers, whose novel OONA ParaSalene has just been published.

Born in England at a time when Canada’s prime minister was Sir Robert Borden, M.P. Rogers came to live in this country during the post-war years. After living in both Saskatchewan and the Maritimes, she moved with her family to Ottawa, her home for the last 36 years.

Her first novel, OONA ParaSalene is a fictional representation of the new millennium and is a work of science fiction and philosophy, a modern fable and a love story.

Ms. Rogers is a prime example of the creative spirit alive in Canada’s community of older persons. Already at work on her second book, she has proven that age is no barrier to the creative process. We hope she will inspire other octogenarians to follow her path!
