Description

We’re thrilled that Alan Doyle is returning to Wordfest with perhaps his most personal book yet, The Smiling Land: All Around the Circle in My Newfoundland and Labrador. The conversation, hosted by the ebullient Nita Prose (the bestselling author of The Maid, who was Doyle's first book editor in a previous life), includes an audience Q&A and book signing. BONUS: Your ticket includes a pre-signed copy of The Smiling Land.

Our friends at Owl’s Nest books will also be on site if you’d like to purchase additional copies of The Smiling Land or titles from Doyle’s best-selling backlist. And you get 10% off your book purchase if you pre-order a bundle of two or more books here.

We are thankful to Penguin Random House Canada for making it possible to connect you with Alan Doyle.
