From the winding alleys of Wazirabad, Afghanistan to the rural town of Burr, Ontario, to Rivers Inlet on the northwest coast of British Columbia — the settings of these compelling new novels shape the characters and the action unfolding within. Join Jamaluddin Aram, Brooke Lockyer and Alissa York as they explore the distinctive settings of their latest work and discuss how “place” can be a character in itself.
