Words the Orangeville Way |
|
Sunday, November 27, 2 p.m.,
Orangeville Town Hall, 87 Broadway
The 2022 Words the Orangeville Way literary lineup infuses local and history with a panel discussion moderated by Orangeville’s own freelance writer, Bernadette Hardaker. Join the Orangeville Public Library in partnership with BookLore as we present an afternoon of mystery, secrets and fashion.
The panel includes authors Eva Jurczyk, Carol Newall, Hugh Brewster, and illustrator Laurie McGaw, whose most recent books touch on themes of determination and female achievement.
Eva Jurczyk’s debut novel, 'The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections', is a mystery told from the point of view of Liesl Weiss, a librarian who works with historical and rare books in a university library setting in Toronto.
Carol Newall’s recently released biography, 'Outside the Gate: A True Story of a British Home Child in Canada', is Winnie Cooper’s story of love and loss, pain and joy, told by her granddaughter to reveal a troubling chapter of Canadian and British history.
Hugh Brewster and illustrator Laurie McGaw’s junior biography, 'Unsinkable Lucile: How a Farm Girl Became the Queen of Fashion and Survived the Titanic', tells the story of how a farm girl from Guelph named Lucy Sutherland became the queen of high society fashion during the Edwardian age..
Light refreshments, book sales and signing will follow the panel discussion. Please RSVP by completing the registration form. |
