Sara O’Leary will discuss her first novel, The Ghost in the House.

What if a ghost were haunting your house? What if you were the ghost?

Everything in Fay's life is perfect – living in the house she dreamed of as a child, married to a man she loves, and planning her life as an artist. Her life seems full of possibility. Then, late one night, Fay realizes that something has gone wrong.

Sara O'Leary is a Canadian children's writer and novelist. She is the author of a number of critically acclaimed picture books including Maud and Grand-Maud, This is Sadie, A Family is a Family is a Family and When You Were Small. A former literary columnist for The Vancouver Sun and CBC Radio, she now teaches at Concordia University in Montreal. She is the author of  a collection of short fiction, Comfort Me With Apples, and a collection of postcard stories, Wish You Were Here.  

SPOILER ALERT:  The discussion assumes that every participant has read the book.  If you have not read it, or have not finished it, please be prepared to hear plot twists and perhaps the ending.  

The Lorenzo Reading Series acknowledges the support of Canada Council for the Arts, the League of Canadian Poets, UNB Saint John, UNB Saint John Bookstore, and its private reading sponsors.
