Sweet England and Caprice launch at The Sylvia

Sweet England and Caprice launch at Vancouver landmark The Sylvia. There will be readings, remarks and complimentary appetizers and drinks.

Sweet England , Steve Weiner's third novel, is a harrowing portrayal of post-Thatcher England that follows a man of no known origin and unstable personality and his efforts to re-enter society after a long and unexplained absence. His first novel Museum of Love was nominated for the prestigious Giller Prize.

Caprice , the second in George Bowering's trilogy of historical novels about British Columbia to appear, but third to be reissued, is a witty and colourful recreation of a Canadian heroine's quest in avenging her brother's murder. Shoot! and Burning Water were reissued in 2008 and 2007 respectively.
