Saturday August 28thIn Why I Love Vancouver: Reflections on a City by a Pulitzer-Nominated American Journalist, author Linda Solomon pens a love letter to the city that embraced her with open arms.
Why I Love Vancouver opens in New York City the morning of September 11, 2001, as American-born Solomon drops her son off at school for his first day of kindergarten. The towers of the World Trade Centre fall before her eyes and she is shaken by the terror in the voices of the children around her. Soon after, she heads to “the world’s most livable city” to raise her family and build her publishing business.
Solomon’s courtship with Vancouver is relayed through stunning essays that capture the city’s epic beauty and jarring ugliness. From the heart of the Downtown Eastside, to Grouse Mountain in the summertime, to American Thanksgiving in the weeks following her brother's life-saving kidney transplant, Solomon offers a frank appraisal of a city in transition at the very moment when the eyes of the world fall upon it.
