Bryan Prince Booksellers of Hamilton, Dundurn
Free Publishing and Halton Organization for Pride
and Education present Author, psychotherapist and
consultant Farzana Doctor (www.farzanadoctor.com)
and her new book "Six Metres Of
Pavement".
Book Summary: Ismail Boxwala made the worst
mistake of his life one summer morning twenty
years ago: he forgot his baby daughter in the
back seat of his car. After his daughter’s
tragic death, he struggles to continue living.
After divorce, years of heavy drinking,
Ismail’s story begins to change after he
reluctantly befriends two women: Fatima, a young
queer activist kicked out of her parents’
home; and Celia, his grieving Portuguese-Canadian
neighbour who lives just six metres away. A
slow-simmering romance develops between Ismail
and Celia. Meanwhile, dangers lead Fatima to his
doorstep. Each makes complicated demands of him,
ones he is uncertain he can meet.
Farzana is in the country briefly. Admittance is
free. No pre-registration required. |
