The Afternoon Tea

Host: Bill Richardson
The Afternoon Tea
One of the Festival’s signature events year after year, The Afternoon Tea returns in digital format! Bring your favourite scones and tea and sidle up for an afternoon steeped in words, including readings from celebrated international and Canadian authors making this year’s Must Read lists: Caroline Adderson (A Russian Sister); Francesca Ekwuyasi (Butter Honey Pig Bread); Will Ferguson (The Finder); Michelle Good (Five Little Indians) Kevin Spenst (Hearts Amok); and Jack Wang (We Two Alone). Relaxing, jovial and always an instant sell-out and book club favourite, this year’s Afternoon Tea remains an intimate, delectable affair.
Generously supported by the Faris family in memory of Yulanda Faris.
