An Evening with Author and BSS Old Girl, Marina ENDICOTT ’76

Over the years, BSS has hosted an increasingly diverse group of outstanding Canadian writers. These have included novelists, dramatists, poets, journalists and memoirists.

This year’s Hill Speaker is award winning author and BSS Old Girl, Marina ENDICOTT ’76. Ms. Endicott’s latest novel, Good to a Fault, was released last year and won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Canada and the Caribbean and was a finalist for the 2008 Giller Prize.
 Ms. Endicott will give a reading for Parents, Grandparents and Old Girls on February 18 at 6:30 pm in the Student Centre. A wine and cheese reception and book signing will follow.
