Kathy Page is the UK/Canadian author of eight novels, including The Story of My Face, short-listed for the Orange Prize in 2002; Alphabet, nominated for a Governor General’s Literary Award for fiction in 2005, and The Find,  short-listed for a ReLit award in 2011.  Her most recent novel, Dear Evelyn, won the 2018 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, was shortlisted for the Ethel Wilson Prize, and won the 2019 City of Victoria Book Prize

Page’s interest has shifted towards non-fiction—though she writes as ever  with a  novelist’s eye, ear and voice, and with the same deep and compassionate sense of character (see below). Her eagerly anticipated  memoir is forthcoming with Penguin Canada in 2025; title and other updates will be posted here…
