NEWS RELEASE
FRIENDS OF THE EAST GWILLIMBURY LIBRARY
*************************
As many of you know, we have been hosting author events in the East Gwillimbury Civic Centre since 2004. Many of Canada’s most celebrated authors have joined us in intimate appearances right here in EG.
During the pandemic, we have been unable to organize in-person events, but we are delighted to announce that we will be hosting virtual Book Chats starting on March 18 with Mary Lawson. Mary is a New York Times bestselling author and is well known for her novels set in Northern Ontario. Her debut novel was Crow Lake and it has been almost a decade since she wrote Road Ends.
This February she is launching A Town Called Solace, which is set in Northern Ontario and is a beautifully written, masterful, suspenseful and deeply humane novel.
The story is told through three distinct, compelling voices, cutting back and forth to carefully uncover the layers of grief, remorse and love that connect families — both the ones we're born into and the ones we choose. Mary Lawson will be joining us from her home in London, England and the discussion will be expertly guided by moderator Councillor Tara Roy-DiClemente.
The cost to access the event link is $10. If you wish to access the link and pre-order a copy of A Town Called Solace, the cost is $35, which includes a signed book plate. (The book retails for $32.) You must be able to pick up your copy through curbside service at either the Holland Landing or Mount Albert branch of the EGPL.
