Seven Named a Finalist for the Trillium Book Award

Dundurn Press is thrilled to announce that Seven by Farzana Doctor has been selected as a finalist for the 2021 Trillium Book Award. Congratulations, Farzana!

Seven is a brave, soulfully written feminist novel about inheritance and resistance that tests the balance between kinship and the fight against customs that harm us. The novel has been widely praised, including by Ms. Magazine, which called Seven “an important book for our changing times.”

The Ontario government established the Trillium Book Award in 1987 to recognize excellence, support marketing and foster increased public awareness of the quality and diversity of Ontario writers and writing. Learn more here.
