Author
A former journalist and current pediatrician, Bindu Suresh studied literature at Columbia University and medicine at McGill University. Born in Wales, she spent equal parts of her childhood in Saskatchewan and Alberta before moving to Ontario and then Quebec. She currently lives in Montreal. She has written several short stories as well as a novella, 26 Knots (2019), and a novel, The Road Between Us (2025), which was longlisted for the Giller Prize.
Road Between Us (The)
A tense, poetic novel that spans continents and decades, The Road Between Us explores why we make the decisions we do, and how those decisions affect the people we love. Estela becomes a lawyer after a deep childhood loss and an undergraduate dalliance with a professor cause her to struggle in her professional life. Ash, Estela’s estranged best friend, is a diplomat posted to Buenos Aires and Beijing who wants what he can’t have. Ophélie, Ash’s fiancé, makes a mistake in her role as a nurse that alters the course of her life. And Roman is a career academic whose careless sexual escapades come back to haunt him.

FRYE Fever
Join us on Friday night for the second edition of Frye Fever - an event where words and tunes collide in the most electrifying way! This event brings together writers and DJs for a high-energy mashup of rhythms and rhymes. Five writers will have just 36 hours to craft two original texts each—but there’s a catch! The final line of every piece needs to be the title of a song so good, you have to get up and dance. So, wear your glamest outfit, lace up those dancing shoes, and let the words pull you in before the beets take over. And the night doesn’t stop there—stick around for a DJ set by Beets & Beans! Presented with pride in partnership with the Aberdeen Cultural Centre.
