Cedarbrae Blog

Just last Thursday, October 6, Cedarbrae welcomed its very first author as part of the eh List author series. Amid the buzz of Election Day, British Columbia native, Michelle Berry read select passages from her novel, This Book Will Not Save Your Life, and talked a little about the process of creating a story. She discussed some of the things that inspire her, her feelings surrounding publishing and putting written work out there to be read by both fans and critics.

If you’ve read This Book, you’ll know that it includes a number of complex, but unsavoury characters and situations, which makes it all the more interesting when you meet Michelle. She’s got an easy laugh, and is immensely approachable – nothing like some of the characters she writes!

The evening ended with book signings and a chance for our audience to speak a little more with our author. It was an entertaining evening, and we were glad  to have such an enthusiastic and talented Canadian writer to start off a great fall line-up here at Cedarbrae!

If you missed Michelle Berry’s visit, but hope to catch the experience of the eh List, be sure to drop by for our next two authors: we’ve got Randy Boyagoda, author of Beggar’s Feast, on Thursday October 27^th at 7 PM, and then Marina Nemat, author of After Tehran, on Thursday November 24^th, also at 7 PM. Remember, there is no formal registration for these events, so be sure to come early to get your seat. If you have any questions about any of the events, leave a comment, or call us at 416-396-8850.

See you there!
