FreeWomen & Children: Tony Birch in Conversation
At the end of Women & Children, Tony Birch leaves a note for readers: ‘It is not the story of my own family, but a story motivated by our family’s refusal to accept silence as an option in our lives.’ He speaks with Chris Flynn about the trauma of violence, the freedom of justice, and the remarkable cast of characters grappling with both in his critically acclaimed novel.
This is a free event; no bookings required.
