It seems as if Canada’s national broadcaster is getting into the e-book business. Toronto-based publisher McArthur & Company announced on Wednesday that they will team-up with CBC Books to released an enhanced e-book edition of Kate Pullinger’s novel, The Mistress of Nothing, which won the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction in 2009.
According to a press release, the enhanced e-book will feature:
• An abridged audio in 25 parts, read by actress Barbara Barnes.
• A slide show featuring photographs, prints and paintings from the era (1860s Egypt), as well as the house where Lady Duff Gordon and her maid Sally Naldrett stayed.
• Further reading suggestions.
• A book club reading guide.
• Six exclusive videos of the author Kate Pullinger discussing the writing and researching of the book and reading the final chapter aloud.
