The Launch of Betsy Wickwire and The Titanic

Posted on October 14, 2011 by vickigrant

There is a connection.

On Monday, October 17, Betsy Wickwire’s Dirty Secret will be launched at The George Wright House. This stately home at the corner of Young Avenue and Inglis Street in Halifax was bequeathed to the Local Council of Women after George went down with the Titanic. (Money raised from room rental goes towards the Council’s many good works.)

I just hope this launch turns out a little better than the Titanic’s did…
