So pleased that one of our former authors--Katherena Vermette is among winners of Writers' Trust awards. She took home the BIG prize $60k Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction for her novel The Strangers--a sequel to the wonderful book we read, The Break. Kudos to Katherena.
For Banff Book Group supporters...do read Katherena Vermette's new book, The Strangers. Explores the next phase of Phoenix and Cedar-Sage's lives before and through COVID. Excellent sequel to The Break. Certainly the Winnipeg that is described is not Carol Shields' Winnipeg.
The Banff Book Discussion Weekend is so fortunate to hae Lynn as its visiting speaker May 28-30; check us out at https://t.co/ASzIkJgMER. Come to Banff. :)
