Bringing The Past To Life
Sally Colin-James, Geraldine Brooks & Pip Williams In Conversation With Kate Evans
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE EVENT REPLAYED ON ABC RADIO NATIONAL
In skilled hands, historical fiction brings the past to life in surprising ways. It also helps us make sense of our present, and even offers foreknowledge of the future. Hear from some of the country’s finest writers of historical novels – Geraldine Brooks (Horse), Pip Williams (The Bookbinder of Jericho) and emerging talent Sally Colin-James (One Illumined Thread) – as they discuss the past as prologue and how they convincingly intertwine fact and fiction in their work. This panel event is hosted by ABC RN’s The Bookshelf’s Kate Evans.
