A beautifully evocative and deeply affecting debut novel that follows a collection of mothers and daughters across five generations through Cuba, Mexico, Texas, and Miami.
Told in Jane Godwin's evocative rhyming text and matched with Felicita Sala's magical illustrations, this month's selection is about memory, dreams, and the mysterious ways we feel connected to those we love.
Charming, witty and wise, this month's selection explores small-town life, what constitutes a family, domesticity (its calamities and its comforts), responsibility, love and heartbreak.
Told with enormous amounts of empathy and smarts, this multi-narrative is a deep dive into hoarding, class, male entitlement and sexual harassment in universities, and the limits of familial responsibility. It's about love and family, betrayal and forgiveness, and the things we do to fill our empty spaces.
From Monday 26 April to Sunday 2 May 2021, the Festival will host 231 live events featuring more than 400 Australian-based speakers and 15 international writers (via video) who will be considering this year’s Festival theme, Within Reach.
