This captivating event will be uplifted by piano pieces performed by Allen Ding, an award-winning pianist and student at the Vancouver Academy of Music.

Barbara Kingsolver’s bestselling works of fiction - including The Poisonwood Bible, Demon Copperhead, and The Lacuna—have earned her a devoted readership around the world. Kingsolver joins us with her new instant classic, Partita, in conversation with award-winning journalist and author Marsha Lederman.

A promising, former music conservatory student has made peace with her marriage and modest livelihood, when a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. With razor-sharp acuity and deep affection, Partita reflects on class barriers, the risks of ambition, and what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty.

Kingsolver herself is a pianist and music lover, and this captivating event will be uplifted by piano pieces performed by Allen Ding, an award-winning pianist and student at the Vancouver Academy of Music. Celebrate the opening of the 39th annual Vancouver Writers Fest at an evening of brilliant art, music, and conversation.

Books will be for sale at the event from Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books. There will be no book signing at this event.
