FreeA Room in Which to Feel Things
‘Writing about life … offers companionship to the world beyond our own lives. It’s a room in which to feel things.’
Writing in Guardian Australia after her debut novel Sunbathing was published, Isobel Beech captured the power of storytelling to influence the author and reader.
Join Isobel and fellow debut novelist Bronwyn Birdsall for a discussion about the power of fiction to connect us and how they have navigated the journey from reader to author.
Hosted by Amy Sambrooke.
