‘This whole world is colourful and magical’: Rosey Edeh and C.L. Polk discuss The Midnight Bargain
Olympian and broadcaster will champion the novel The Midnight Bargain by C.L. (Chelsea) Polk on Canada Reads 2021. Ahead of the debates, Rosey and Chelsea got together virtually to discuss this moving novel and the great Canadian book debate.
In The Midnight Bargain, Beatrice is making her debut at "bargaining season" — an annual event where wealthy young men and women gather from all over the world to make advantageous marriages. But she harbours secret plans that will upend society. Rather than get married, Beatrice plans to bind a greater spirit and become a full magician.
The 2021 champions and their chosen books are:
Olympian and broadcaster Rosey Edeh champions The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk
Singer-songwriter Scott Helman champions Two Trees Make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee
Actor and filmmaker Devery Jacobs champions Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead
Actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee champions Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Chef, recording artist and TV host Roger Mooking champions Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi
The debates take place March 8-11, 2021, and will be hosted by Ali Hassan. Canada Reads will be broadcast on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books.
