Bookmark was founded in Charlottetown in 1972 and opened another location in Halifax in 1989. Store manager Lori Cheverie says Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black has been the store’s best seller over the past few months. “The fact that she was on the short list for pretty much every book award list tells me our readers aren’t alone in praising this book! We were lucky to have hosted an event with her in the fall, so many of our readers were able to listen to her read and discuss her inspirations for the book,” she adds.
