Vancouver Writers Fest presents Barbara Kingsolver in Conversation with Marsha Lederman

Barbara Kingsolver’s bestselling works of fiction—including The Poisonwood Bible, Demon Copperhead, and The Lacuna—have earned her a devoted readership around the world. Kingsolver appears at the Writers Fest with her new instant classic, Partita, in conversation with award-winning journalist and author Marsha Lederman.
