Alice Goldbloom, a longtime Montrealer, has been writing her whole career—mundane government, business, and consulting documents of every kind. In 2020, with a fulfilling career behind her and two children semi-launched into the world, she began writing stories to please herself and share.
She writes about being a first-generation Canadian, the small town in Ontario where she grew up, and her discovery of the story of her parents, who survived the Nazi occupation of Poland on the other side of the Jewish ghetto walls. In 2023, one of her stories was long-listed for the CBC Nonfiction Prize.
Alice publishes a weekly Substack newsletter, A Considerable Age https://aconsiderableage.substack.com, which features personal essays. She has recently began serializing the chapters of her book as well. It’s called Mother Land. https://alicegoldbloom.substack.com/
