Description

Join us for an author talk with Cynthia Banham, who will discuss her new book, Mother Shadow, with fellow author Jane Messer.

About Cynthia Banham

Cynthia Banham is a writer, journalist and former lawyer. Author of three non-fiction books, A Certain Light: A Memoir of Family, Loss and Hope, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards, for Non-fiction Book of the Year. Cynthia has twice been awarded a Varuna fellowship, most recently the Varuna Climate Fellowship.

Mother Shadow is an expedition into the wilderness of motherhood, especially the kind of motherhood that doesn’t fit neatly into the mainstream boxes. It is a memoir written as compellingly as a detective story.

About Jane Messer

Jane Messer is an accomplished writer, a regular contributor to The Conversation, and a former Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Macquarie University. She is the founder and director of StorySALOON, a live show and podcast dedicated to Australian short stories. Her recent book, Raven Mother, is a memoir about family inheritance.
