Presented in partnership with SFU Continuing Studies.

Longtime Festival favourite and beloved novelist Emma Donoghue joins from Ireland to present her highly-anticipated release, Haven, for our Digital Book Club Fall selection. Called “a patient, thoughtful novel with much to say about spirituality, hope, and human failure, and about the miracle of mercy” by Esi Edugyan, Haven, set in the year 600, follows three men in a small boat as they make their way toward an island their leader has seen in a dream. A Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize-winner and nominee for both the Man Booker and Orange Prizes, Donoghue’s works regularly top international bestseller lists. Hear this fabulous storyteller in an intimate discussion speaking to craft, the moors of Ireland, and the roles of spirituality and faith in our fiction—and our lives. In conversation with bestselling author and columnist, Robert Wiersema.

Tickets for our Digital Book Club include the price of admission, as well as a hardcopy of Haven, fulfilled by Kidsbooks.

This is a virtual event.
