These characters were back stories although overshadowed in Deafening, ultimately had their own stories to reveal. Tell follows four characters from this earlier novel, both set in post-war 1919 in small-town Deseronto, Ontario. Deafening has been translated into 17 languages and has been optioned for a film. The book club members had previously read Itani’s Deafening (2003) and had travelled to Hudson to hear her speak during the 2019 Greenwood Storyfest.
Tell, shortlisted for the Giller Prize in 2014, is one of 18 best-selling books written by Itani. On Tuesday (January 12), Hawkesbury Library Book Club members welcomed the ultimate authority on the book being discussed.Ĭanadian author and member of the Order of Canada Frances Itani joined the Hawkesbury Library English Book Club on Zoom for their discussion of her novel Tell on January 12.
At book club meetings, members usually discuss a book they have just read, sharing their opinions and often, their thinking on the meaning behind an author’s words.
