Join us for a reading and interview with up-and-coming UK authors Yvvette Edwards and Sarah Winman, moderated by TVO’s Thom Ernst. The event will be followed by a book signing.
Yvvette Edwards presents her Man Booker Prize longlisted debut novel, A Cupboard Full of Coats, a searing tale of family, jealousy and tragic betrayal as the story of the stabbing death of one women’s mother unfolds.
Sarah Winman’s debut, When God Was a Rabbit, is an extraordinary novel about childhood and growing up, friendships and families, triumph and tragedy, and everything in between.
