I couldn&#8217;t help but imagine the city they encountered as I was transported back in time with Hallam&#8217;s journey.

I didn&#8217;t move to Toronto in 2000 to make bricks or open an apothecary, but I could relate to Hallam&#8217;s as he figured how the city worked, and how he could fit into it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Though February is over, more <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/?cat=58\">Spacing One Book posts<\/a> will follow in the next couple weeks, part of our continued solidarity with the slow reader<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBC Toronto reporter Mike Wise kept his own One Book blog during the month of February.
