AN HOUR WITH KATE GRENVILLE
Kate Grenville is one of Australia’s finest writers. Her bestselling novel, The Secret
River, has been published in more than 20 countries and received numerous awards, including the Commonwealth Writers Prize. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award. The companion memoir, Searching for the Secret River, is a must-read for authors and researchers. The Idea of Perfection won the Orange Prize for Fiction, and her other awardwinning novels, which include The Lieutenant, Lilian’s Story, Dark Places and Joan Makes History, have become modern classics. Sarah Thornhill, published in 2011, extends the story of The Secret River into the next generation, focusing on the youngest child of ex-convict William Thornhill and the family secret that casts a long chill shadow over life in the Hawkesbury Valley.
Kate Grenville talks with Owen Marshall, an award-winning novelist, short-story writer
and poet. His latest novel, The Larnachs, is his first foray into historical fiction.
