SUMMARY:Amy Spurway | In Her Voice
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ben McNally Books and Goose Lane Editions as we celebrate Amy Spurway and her novel Crow. \nAs a part of the In Her Voice series\, Amy will be joined in conversation with author Emily Saso to discuss Crow\, followed by a signing. \nLight refreshments will be served. \nWhen: \nThursday April 25th \n6:30 to 8pm \n(Doors at 6) \nWhere: \nThe Store! \n366 Bay Street \nCost: \nThis is a free event! Please confirm your attendance through Eventbrite. \n\n \nThis Crow will ruffle a few feathers. \nWhen Stacey Fortune is diagnosed with three highly unpredictable — and inoperable — brain tumours\, she abandons the crumbling glamour of her life in Toronto for her mother Effie’s scruffy trailer in rural Cape Breton. Back home\, she’s known as Crow\, and everybody suspects that her family is cursed.\nWith her future all but sealed\, Crow decides to go down in a blaze of unforgettable glory by writing a memoir that will raise eyebrows and drop jaws. She’ll dig up “the dirt” on her family tree\, including the supposed curse\, and uncover the truth about her mysterious father\, who disappeared a month before she was born.\nBut first\, Crow must contend with an eclectic assortment of characters\, including her gossipy Aunt Peggy\, hedonistic party-pal Char\, homebound best friend Allie\, and high-school flame Willy. She’ll also have to figure out how to live with her mother and how to muddle through the unsettling visual disturbances that are becoming more and more vivid each day.\nWitty\, energetic\, and crackling with sharp Cape Breton humour\, Crow is a story of big twists\, big personalities\, big drama\, and even bigger heart. \n\n \nAmy Spurway was born and raised on Cape Breton\, where\, at the age of 11\, she landed her first writing and performing gigs with CBC Radio. She has worked as a communications consultant\, editor\, speech-writer\, and performer. Her writing has appeared in Today’s Parent\, the Toronto Star\, Babble\, and Elephant Journal. She lives in Dartmouth\, Nova Scotia. \n\nEmily Saso writes fiction and screenplays. She lives in Toronto and blogs at egoburn.blogspot.ca. The Weather Inside is her debut novel. \n000000
