An Intimate Evening with Jane Urquhart
2011 Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival, Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at 8pm
Jane Urquhart discusses Sanctuary Line.
When Governor General’s Award–winning novelist Jane Urquhart finishes writing a novel, she says she never knows whether another one is going to happen; it always seems like an act of such “unlikely magic”. Luckily for her readers, this magic occurs quite regularly. In Sanctuary Line, as in her six previous novels, Urquhart’s lyrical confidence sings as loudly as ever. The tale, weaving elements from nineteenth-century Ireland and Ontario into gradually unfolding contemporary events in the lives of one family, also threads together three different but very powerful love stories. Tonight is a rare opportunity to sit with a Canadian master and indulge in the art of her smooth prose. Tickets $25. (thebookpile)… (more)
