Charlotte Wood on "Stone Yard Devotional"

On Wednesday 8 November, Stella Prize winner Charlotte Wood will reflect on her new novel, Stone Yard Devotional, on Level 2 of the Potts Point Hotel.  Doors open at 6pm and the talk will start at 6.30pm.

A deeply moving novel about forgiveness, grief, and what it means to be 'good', Stone Yard Devotional is utterly compelling, haunting, and enthralling — and reconfirms Wood as one of Australia's foremost writers. How do we face the questions of forgiveness and grief? What might allow us to finally lay old sorrows to rest? Stone Yard Devotional explores the moral tension between retreating from the world or engaging with it, and the power of place — the barren Monaro landscape in which Wood herself grew up.

Charlotte Wood is the author of ten books. Her last work of nonfiction is The Luminous Solution, an exploration of creativity and the inner life. Her last novel was the international bestseller, The Weekend.

Charlotte will be in conversation with Chris Hanley, the Founder of The Byron Writers Festival. He was given an OAM for his services to the Arts, and he is a businessman, a business coach and a podcaster.
