Baie-D’Urfé Library Open Mic Night
Barbara Burgess, a QWF member and Montreal author, will read a few pages from her latest novel The Cacouna Caves and the Doorway to the Golden Planet: Book Two in the Cacouna Saga. The open mic event will take place at the Bibliothèque de Baie-D’Urfé (the Baie-D’Urfé Library) on May 30 at 7:30 PM.
Burgess’ novel is set in Quebec, this time in a not-too-distant future age. The first part of the novel is dystopian, as it deals with a world ravaged by climate change. The second part of the novel is utopian and presents an idealistic vision for the future of humankind and our planet. Her website is www.thecacounacaves.com
Burgess will participate in the open mic event—along with fellow QWF members Louise Carson and Merryl Hammond—on the West Island on May 30.
