Port Medway Readers' Festival 5-Aug-2017:
Ami McKay

One of Canada’s best-known writers, Ami McKay is author of the critically acclaimed and bestselling novels The Birth House, The Virgin Cure and The Witches of New York. A Canada Reads finalist, she has also been nominated for the Dublin IMPAC award. Her writing has been honoured by booksellers (“Choice of the Year” and Libris Awards), librarians (the Evergreen Award) and is much beloved by her readers. In a recent review of Witches of New York, The National Post writes, “McKay has created and occupied a vital territory in Canadian letters, with scrupulously researched historical fiction foregrounding female characters and lives against traditionally masculine settings and milieus.” She arrives in Port Medway after premiering Nothing Less!, “a moving tale of an intrepid band of small town suffragists (and the men who loved them)” at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts.
