One Book Kick-Off


Come join us as we launch our One Book program with a celebration of Consolation’s evocation of Toronto’s past and present. Soprano Mary Lou Fallis conjures up the spirit of Victorian Toronto with popular songs from the 1850s. Actor Ross Manson presents two dramatic readings from Consolation. Host Tina Srebotnjak interviews Michael Redhill about his Toronto Book Award-winning novel. Also: view the panoramic photograph that inspired the novel, and check out an annotated virtual map of the city as it was in the 1850s.
