Emma Donoghue, author of Room, The Wonder, and Pull of the Stars, returns with The Paris Express, a taut and suspenseful historical novel that reimagines an 1895 French railway disaster, an event famously documented in dramatic photographs. In this pre-festival event, gritLIT is thrilled to welcome Emma Donoghue to the historic Playhouse Cinema to sit down with CHCH Morning Live’s Annette Hamm. The Paris Express is a thrilling ride and a literary masterpiece that captures the politics, fears and chaos of the end of the nineteenth century.

$15 | This event is hosted at the Playhouse Cinema (177 Sherman Avenue North)
