About

Join us for an engaging event with Canadian authors Lesley Crewe and Sarah Leipciger as they discuss their latest novels exploring love, loss and healing. In Crewe’s Death & Other Inconveniences, 62-year-old Margo must learn how to stand on her own for the first time as she faces the chaos left behind after her husband’s death, which includes a lot of paperwork, a cat, complicated family dynamics and her dead husband’s judgemental ex-wife. Leipciger’s Moon Road paints a beautiful portrait of marriage, divorce and reconciliation as estranged couple Kathleen and Yannick take a road trip across Canada to find answers to their daughter’s disappearance.
