About this event
We’re closing the festival with superstar Bonnie Garmus in her only Western Canadian appearance! Her debut Lessons in Chemistry—a tour-de-force of feminist historical fiction—skyrocketed Garmus to global fame and turned the book into an Emmy-winning Apple TV series.Susin Nielsen (Snap) speaks to Garmus about her much-anticipated follow-up, Peck & Peck. This will be one for the books—and a certain sell-out—so secure your seats at the magnificent Bella Concert Hall now.
