Cozy Fest: Anna Dowdall + The Suspension Bridge

About our reader

A photo of writer Anna Dowdall. She is a light skin-toned woman with short, feathered brown hair and glasses, wearing a zip hoodie.

Montreal-born author Anna Dowdall is the author of three genre-bending literary mysteries: April on Paris Street (Guernica 2021), The Au Pair, and After the Winter (Guernica 2021, 2018, 2017), all of which feature evocative settings and a preoccupation with the lives of women. A lover of prose, she once wrote a poem, which ended up on an electricity pole on Montreal’s rue de la Poésie. Anna currently resides in Toronto.
