Fan behind Dickens Fellowship

When she was 14 years old, Ellie Clavier Rothstein picked up her first Charles Dickens novel.

Forty years later, she has more than 500 Dickens novels. And Dickens memorabilia.

And a family that teases her for being so obsessed.

Dr Ellie Clavier Rothstein became a psychiatrist, but her love of Dickens never went away.

So this year, she opened up a Montreal branch of the International Dickens Fellowship.

It's Christmas so of course, the Dickens fellowship has sponsored a reading of A Christmas Carol in Montreal (December 7th, 7:30pm at the Atwater Library).

 We'll find out about that, but first, Dr Rothstein tells Sonali Karnick about her obsession.
