An Evening With Elizabeth Hay and Miriam Toews, May 5th Vancouver

Two of Canada's most esteemed and beloved authors, Miriam Toews (A Complicated Kindness and The Flying Troutmans) and Elizabeth Hay (Late Nights On Air), will be discussing their new books, Irma Voth and Alone in the Classroom.

I saw Miriam Toews back in March 2008 and had a wonderful time (see my post about it, here). Seeing Miram Toews alone, is worth the price of admission! I am looking forward to seeing her talk about her new book.

I've never have seen Elizabeth Hay live before but I am so excited that she is coming! I read her book, Late Nights on Air (click for my 5 star review) back in May, 2008 and LOVED it! It has stayed with me, even 3 years later. I can hardly wait to hear her talk about Alone in the Class Room!

You can purchase tickets to this highly anticipated event at Vancouver Tix, online or by phone at (604) 629-8849. Thanks so much to the Vancouver International Writers and Readers Festival for making this event happen!

Oddly enough, I have never heard of either of these authors. Unfortunately, I live in the US so would not be able to attend, but I do hope you have a great time...which I know you will! I will definitely be looking up their books on your recommendation.
