Port Medway Readers' Festival 8-Jul-2017:
Helen Humphreys

When a fine writer is naturally curious, her lucky readers get to reap the benefits of her research and inquiry. Helen Humphreys has written about nature and history; her books range from stories of rivers (The Frozen Thames and, in The River, the Napanee) to bestselling novels set in a variety of times and worlds, from 1930s Toronto (Leaving Earth), to wartime England (Coventry and The Evening Chorus), and 19th century Paris (The Reinvention of Love). A multi-award-winning novelist and poet, she’s a master of unadorned prose, and a terrific storyteller. Quill and Quire wrote of Nocturne, her memoir about the loss of her brother, “a stunning book, heartfelt without being maudlin, and deceptively devastating.”
