Don’t miss this celebrated author who counts Anne Enright and Tim Winton among her fans, as she joins Emily Perkins in conversation. In Charlotte Wood’s (AUS) Booker-shortlisted novel Stone Yard Devotional, a disillusioned and atheist environmentalist retreats to a remote religious community. In this profound exploration of human connection and forgiveness, she finds solace amidst unexpected visitations, including a biblical mouse plague. “Exquisite.” – New York Times.
