I'm thrilled to announce that I will soon be visiting Canada as a guest of the Calgary literary festival Wordfest (13-18 October), the Vancouver Writers' Festival (20-25 October) and the International Festival of Authors in Toronto (22 October - 1 November).
This will be my first trip to Canada, and I'm very excited and grateful for the opportunity to talk about my debut novel Burial Rites in front of new readers. I will be speaking alongside many other, wonderful writers, such as Icelandic crime novelist Yrsa Sigurðardóttir.
The readings, events and panels I will be participating in are listed below, and most will include a signing afterwards. More information about each event can be found by following the links below.
See you soon, Canada!
