Ottawa Writers Fest Happily Ever After with Emma Theriault, Uzma Jalaluddin and Jackie Lau

Join us for three wildly diverse takes on true love and the promise of happily ever after as we celebrate romance writing with some of Canada’s most acclaimed authors.

Get ready to swoon for A Lady Would Know Better , a dreamy, forget-me-not romance by Ottawa’s own Emma Theriault that’s filled with the delightful tartness of Jane Austen and the sweeping drama of Bridgerton.

Much Ado About Nada is a sparkling second-chance romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion by bestselling author Uzma Jalaluddin. Nada Syed is stuck. On the cusp of thirty, she’s still living at home with her brothers and parents. Nada’s best friend, Haleema, is determined to pry her from her shell…

Bestselling author Jackie Lau joins us with her latest, Time Loops & Meet Cutes , a thoroughly unique love story about a woman reliving the same Friday over and over again—and the intriguing man who can’t quite remember her.
