FreeRestless Dolly Maunder: Kate Grenville in Conversation
Kate Grenville starts each book with a question. The latest one she asked is ‘What happened in my grandmother’s life to make her cranky and a bit scary?’ The result is Restless Dolly Maunder – a novel that blends history, biography and memoir to get to the heart of Kate Grenville’s grandmother, Dolly Maunder. She speaks with Ashley Hay about family history and the potential of literary art to heal and redeem.
This is a free event. No booking required.
