Literary Luncheon with Joseph Boyden
In Person Fiction
Every so often, a book can bring the past back to life so vividly that it ceases to be history and becomes a part of the living world. Joseph Boyden has done this with haunting beauty and visceral strength, repopulating a destroyed world with characters so real and striking it is hard to think of them as fictional. The Orenda is not only Boyden's finest work, it is one of the most powerful novels I've ever read.
The Orenda, by Giller Prize Winner Joseph Boyden is a visceral portrait of life at a crossroads. Join us for a mouth-watering lunch at Metropolitain Brasserie and an intimate conversation with one of Canada’s most acclaimed writers. All proceeds support our Children’s Literacy Programs!
Please Note: Seating for this exclusive event is limited.
Tickets include a copy of The Orenda. A book signing will follow the event.
