MAD HATTER: A family, interrupted

Today’s podcast features Amanda Hale, reading and performing excerpts from her novel, MAD HATTER, published by Guernica Editions.

Twelve years in the planning and six in the writing, MAD HATTER is ‘intense and tragic’ (Canadian Literature Magazine) “impressive, emotional, disturbing and extremely rewarding”  (Ottawa Review of Books). Here’s Amanda:

“Imagine,” says Amanda, beginning the story that paints a picture of  men in heavy boots coming to your home, your garden, to claim your father.  An introduction to the story of a family, during World War II, living with the abrupt loss and the mystery of their father and their family life, abruptly changed.  

To find Amanda’s book, go to Mad Hatter on Audible
