Literature comes to life in Chatham-Kent this month as Project Bookmark Canada honours local author Lori Lansens.
The unveiling of a commemorative plaque for Lansens’ novel The Girls takes place Wednesday, November 18th at 1:30 p.m. at the Chatham branch of the Chatham-Kent Public Library.
Lansens, an acclaimed Chatham-born novelist and screenwriter, will be on hand to give a reading from her novel depicting life in a small Ontario town; with memorable visits to Chatham, Windsor, and London; for conjoined twins Rose and Ruby Darlen.
This is the second Project Bookmark commemoration in Chatham-Kent this fall. Award-winning author Robertson Davies was honoured at the Thamesville library in September with a plaque featuring an excerpt from Fifth Business.
The public event is free to attend and will include remarks from community partners, followed by refreshments.
