The Mistake
Won the second place award for the 2008 QWF/CBC Writing Contest.
Published in In Other Words. Broadcast on CBC radio.
Jurors’ Comments: [This story] brings to life the hypocrisy and racism that exist under the veneer of everyday life, even in a multicultural society. The author shrewdly embeds her social observations in the history of both the central character and her city—Montreal.
