CBA LIBRIS BOOKSELLER OF THE YEAR - 2012

The unpretentious atmosphere of Blue Heron Books with its comfy chairs, wood shelving and creaky floors lends itself to a long slow, browsing session, but under that sleepy atmosphere vibrates a strong pulse. The store has a quaint, old-fashioned look with an up tempo vibe, because there is always something happening. The store is a hub for the community and a bastion of calm chaos where everyone is welcome, even the local dogs that drop by with their owners for a treat from the tin kept under the front counter. 62 Brock St. W., Uxbridge, Ontario. 905-852-4282

Lit on Tour – travelling road show of the International Festival of Authors

Mark your calendars; Lit on Tour, the travelling road show of the International Festival of Authors is coming to Uxbridge on Sunday, October 28th 2012. The line up has yet to be announced but stay tuned, we will let you know as soon as we know.

An evening with Booker Nominee Yvvette Edwards and Sarah Winman

Blue Heron Books, in conjunction with the International Festival of Authors at Harbourfront is pleased to present an evening with Booker nominee Yvvette Edwards and Sarah Winman. Edwards novel A Cupboard Full of Coats is redolent of Monica Ali and Zadie Smith. It is a searing story of family, jealousy, and tragic betrayal. Fourteen years ago Jinx’s mother was brutally murdered. When Lemon, an old family friend, turns up Jinx is forced to confront her past. But Lemon has his own secrets, and together they unravel an unforgettable family drama. Edwards’s narrative is delivered with an uncompromising bite that announces a new talent in British fiction.

When God was a Rabbit is an incredibly exciting debut from an extraordinary new voice in fiction. Sarah Winman’s novel spans four decades, from 1968 onwards. This is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives. It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it’s about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
