One Book, One County

This year, our “One Book, One County” title is THE TROUPERS, by Richard Scarsbrook, who grew up in Essex County.

“In THE TROUPERS, Richard Scarsbrook creates a family like few others. I mean how many parents are blessed with five children born on the very same day? Each of the quintuplets has their own personality, quirks, and crosses to bear as they are molded by their flawed father and family patriarch, the legendary actor, John Lionel Trouper.
“By turns hilarious and heartrending, this brilliantly written tale is one wild ride that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.”
— Terry Fallis, winner of Canada Reads and the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour

THE TROUPERS has been short-listed for the 2022 ReLit Award.

“The country’s pre-eminent literary prize recognizing independent presses.”
— The Globe & Mail

THE TROUPERS is available on Overdrive starting Sunday, July 24. Then next month, you can meet the author!

Richard Scarsbrook will be at the Kingsville Branch on Wednesday, August 10 at 7 p.m. The event will be hosted by Dan MacDonald.
