Learn more about Catherine Hernandez, author of Scarborough (Arsenal Pulp Press 2017) and Crosshairs (Harper Collins Canada 2020)
"Rooted from within the worldview and place it portrays, Scarborough is an intimate portrait of a community with all its nuances and desires deftly captured. Through this novel, Hernandez invites us to engage in both the subtle and the sharp, the ordinary and the extraordinary; which, at its best, is what Toronto is all about. Brick by brick, life by life, Scarborough delivers an orchestral impact, one small, beautiful voice at a time."
