Join a lively discussion with award-winnin g writer Terry Fallis and David Wor sley from Words Worth Books.
\nTerry will talk about and read from his most recent novel\, A New Season \, a novel unlike any of his others.
\nA thoughtful exploration of aging\, loss\, family\, friendship\, and love\, all with his trademark humour and heart. \; Jack McMaster seemingly has it all. A beautiful h ouse\, a loving son of many talents (including cooking\, which is great ne ws for Jack\, if not for his waistline)\, even a special bond with his bud dies in his ball hockey league. But he's also learning to live with loss\, leaving a gaping hole in his life--a life that will never be the same as before. Jack passes his days knowing he has the support of his family and his friends\, but he can't shake the feeling that his life has gone gray\, and that time is slipping by so quickly. Then\, a short and shocking vide o from an unexpected source gives him the gumption to make a change and ma ybe even haul himself out of his melancholia. Inspired by his lifelong fas cination with 1920s Paris\, Jack finally visits the City of Light\, follow ing in the footsteps of Hemingway and Fitzgerald\, and wandering the Left Bank. Slowly\, the colour seeps back into his life\, aided by a chance enc ounter in a café\; that leads Jack into the art world\, and a Paris mystery nearly a century old. Full of sincerity and warmth\, A New Season shows us all that sometimes\, making a change in your life can save your l ife.
