Ottawa

A good chunk of my first novel, The Sunbeam Room, was set in Ottawa. So it was joy today to visit the house that my protagonist Sarah lived in, walk up Elgin Street and scout out potential cafes where she and Digger, her half-brother from Alberta, first met, and traverse Wellington Street, the site of the Ottawa occupation.

We have been fortunate to be hosted by my writing partner Laura Cohen. We’ve laughed, drank French wine, and so enjoyed her company. A good day.Weiterlesen
