Commemorate Time of Remembrance with two historical novels of unmatched courage, resilience, and sacrifice in times of war.
Award-winning authors Kath Jonathan and Ann Y.K. Choi will discuss the creation of their latest novels, The Resistance Painter and All Things Under the Moon. Both books tell the stories of women who, during times of war, choose to resist, ultimately transforming their own lives and the lives of those around them.
Stop by the Woolf & Company (formerly Rookery Books) table to purchase titles by the authors and have them signed as a keepsake from this special event.
This event is funded in part by Veterans Affairs Canada.
