The bewitching story of Aggie, a 17-year-old Scottish girl who comes to Canada in 1928 to work as a domestic servant in a wealthy Toronto home, won numerous literary awards when it was first published almost 10 years ago. To Dance at the Palais Royale captured the following honours:

• The Violet Downey Book Award, IODE National Chapter
