Leaving Wisdom by Sharon Butala
Congratulations to Sharon Butala for winning the 2023 Glengarry Book Award Prize for her novel Leaving Wisdom!
Launched by the Saskatchewan Foundation For the Arts (SFFA) in 2021, the Glengarry Book Award Prize was created to support and foster Saskatchewan’s literary culture.
The jury says, “The Jury selected the novel Leaving Wisdom for its strong craft of writing. A powerful narrative – one that stays true to character from start to finish, and themes addressing the struggle of being true to one’s understanding of the world, that resonate across generations.”
