Shaena Lambert

Shaena Lambert is the author of the novel Radiance and two books of stories, Oh, My Darling and The Falling Woman–all of which were Globe and Mail best books of the year. Her fiction has been nominated for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, the Evergreen Award, the Danuta Gleed Award, and the Frank O'Connor Award for the Short Story. Her most recent novel is Petra, inspired by the activist and Green Party founder Petra Kelly who changed history and transformed environmental politics, only to find herself caught up in a triangle of love, jealousy, and murder.
