Join us for a musical, visual, spectacle of a book launch! Accompanied by special choral guests Petal's End Choir, Christy Ann Conlin will read excerpts from her new novel, "The Memento", a lyrical and chilling meditation on human nature and the manner of recollection. This captivating ghost story is set on the rugged Bay of Fundy coast, where webs of memories haunt and distort reality and ultimately destroy those who weave them.
"The Memento" tells the story of Fancy Mosher as she lives and works in the servants' quarters at Petal's End, a formerly illustrious private land surrounded by dense forest belonging to the famed Parker family. Since the Great War, the estate has been slowly crumbling at the same rate as the family's reputation. Fancy grows up listening to her family's ghost stories and watching the Parkers from a safe distance with her best friend, Art, but the summer she turns twelve she not only learns that her family has been hiding a terrifying truth about who she is and what she is capable of, she also begins to experience firsthand the magnitude of secrets and horrors held within the estate's walls and buried in its lush gardens--secrets and lies that come to haunt Fancy and the large, fabulous cast of Petal's End, all of whom refuse to move on from a dying way of life. Gothic elements are exquisitely re-imagined in this strange tale of madness, murder and dark secrets by the acclaimed author of "Heave".
Conlin will be introduced by acclaimed author Ami McKay and interviewed by former CBC Mainstreet host and author Stephanie Domet. Refreshments will be served following the event, and copies of "The Memento" and "Heave" will be available for purchase and signing.
