SUMMARY:Caroline Adderson at Denman Island Festival: Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Caroline Adderson (A Way to Be Happy) will be hosting a workshop at the Denman Island Readers & Writers Festival! The workshop\, “Ending It All” will explore what makes a story ending successful\, looking at planned vs. discovered endings\, common pitfalls\, and how plot and character arcs guide satisfying conclusions. \nThe workshop will take place on Thursday\, July 17 at 10AM. \nMore details here. \nGrab a copy of A Way to Be Happy here! \nABOUT A WAY TO BE HAPPY  \nLonglisted for the 2024 Giller Prize • A Globe 100 Best Book of 2024 • A CBC Best Fiction Book of the Year \nShort stories about disparate characters consider what it means to find happiness. \nOn New Year’s Eve\, a pair of addicts robs a string of high-end parties in order to fund their own recovery. A recently separated woman relocates to a small northern town\, where she receives a life-changing visitation\, and a Russian hitman\, suffering from a mysterious lung ailment\, retrieves long-buried memories of his past. In the nineteenth century\, a disparate group of women coalesce in the attempt to aid a young girl in her escape from a hospital for the insane. These are but some of the remarkable characters who populate these stories\, all of them grappling with conflicts ranging from mundane to extraordinary. Caroline Adderson’s A Way to Be Happy considers what it means to find happiness—and how often it comes through the grace of others. \nABOUT CAROLINE ADDERSON \nCaroline Adderson is the author of five novels (A Russian Sister\, Ellen in Pieces\, The Sky Is Falling\, Sitting Practice\, and A History of Forgetting)\, two previous collections of short stories (Pleased to Meet You and Bad Imaginings)\, as well as many books for young readers.
