SUMMARY:Gibsons Public Library: Author Reading: Marion McKinnon Crook
DESCRIPTION:Local author Marion McKinnon Crook reads from her new book- Bloomsbury to Barkerville: The Life of Florence Wilson. \nFrom the literary circles of Charles Dickens to gold-rush saloons in the Cariboo\, this remarkable true story chronicles the fascinating life and intrepid spirit of Florence Wilson (1823–1902). \nIn 1862 Florence Wilson embarked on the SS Tynemouth\, a bride ship destined for the Colony of British Columbia. She was one of sixty women travelling halfway around the world to become the wives of miners in the Cariboo gold rush. But unbeknownst to her fellow passengers\, Florence had no intention of marrying; she was there to seek her own fortune. By the time she set sail\, Florence had already experienced more life than most women and men twice her age. She had grown up as part of the gentry in central London’s Bloomsbury district\, where she moved in the same literary circles as Charles Dickens and became a published poet. After being cheated of her inheritance\, she fell into debilitating poverty—until news of the gold rush in Western Canada gave her the opportunity to change her life. \nFrom poet to prospector to entrepreneur\, Florence is best remembered in the frontier town of Barkerville\, BC. She was the heart of the community\, bringing entertainment and culture to a town dominated by transient male miners. In Barkerville\, her fortunes rose\, fell\, and literally went up in flames in the great fire of 1868. But she always rebuilt and regrouped. Bloomsbury to Barkerville is a sweeping yet intimate portrait of an intrepid\, ambitious woman.

SUMMARY:Gibsons Public Library: Author Reading: Janie Chang
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading from Janie Chang’s new book The Fourth Princess. \nThe Fourth Princess is a haunting Gothic novel set in 1911 China. Two young women living in a crumbling\, once-grand Shanghai mansion face danger as secrets of their pasts come to light\, even as the mansion’s own secret threatens the present. \nShanghai\, 1911. Lisan Liu is elated when she is hired as secretary to wealthy American Caroline Stanton\, the new mistress of Lennox Manor on the outskirts of Shanghai’s International Settlement. However\, the Manor has a dark past due to a previous owner’s suicide\, and soon Lisan’s childhood nightmares resurface with more intensity and meld with haunted visions of a woman in red. Adding to her unease is the young gardener\, Yao\, who both entices and disturbs her. \nNewly married Caroline looks forward to life in China with her husband\, Thomas\, away from the shadows of another earlier tragedy. But an unwelcome guest\, Andrew Grey\, attends her party and claims to know secrets she can’t afford to have exposed. At the same party\, the notorious princess Masako Kyo approaches Lisan with questions about the young woman’s family that the orphaned Lisan can’t answer. \nAs Caroline struggles with Grey’s extortion and Thomas’s mysterious illness\, Lisan’s future is upended when she learns the truth about her past\, and why her identity has been hidden all these years. All the while\, strange incidents accelerate\, driving Lisan to doubt her sanity as Lennox Manor seems unwilling to release her until she fulfills demands from beyond the grave. \nJanie Chang is a Globe and Mail bestselling author of historical fiction. Born in Taiwan\, Chang has lived in the Philippines\, Iran\, Thailand\, New Zealand\, and Canada. Her novels often draw from family history and ancestral stories. She has a degree in computer science and is a graduate of the Writer’s Studio Program at Simon Fraser University. She is the author of Three Souls\, Dragon Springs Road\, The Library of Legends\, and The Porcelain Moon; and co-author of the USA Today bestseller The Phoenix Crown\, with Kate Quinn. \nConnect with Janie on Instagram at @janiechang33\, on Facebook at @JanieChangWriter\, or via her website\, janiechang.com.
