Author of The Apothecary's Garden
LIVE via ZOOM / Watch this talk on BPL's YouTube channel for four months after June 28.
Jeanette Lynes talks about her latest novel, "The Apothecary's Garden," which is set in Belleville during the Victorian era and stars a poverty-stricken flower girl, a ghost, a famed spirit medium and her handsome assistant—a magical love story about the mysteries of life, the enchantment of flowers, and the wonders of love.
Jeanette Lynes grew up in rural southern Ontario. She is the author of seven collections of poetry and two novels. Her first, The Factory Voice (2009), was longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Her second, The Small Things That End the World (2018), won the Saskatchewan Book Award for fiction. The director of the MFA in writing program at the University of Saskatchewan, Jeanette Lynes splits her time between Toronto and Saskatoon. (harpercollins.ca)
