Join author Nadia Wheatley as she discusses, The End of the Morning, the never-before-published novel by Charmian Clift, which Nadia has recently edited.

Nadia Wheatley is acknowledged as the authoritative biographer of the influential Australian writer, Charmian Clift.

The End of the Morning is the final and unfinished autobiographical novel by Charmian Clift. Although the author did not live to complete it, the typescript left among her papers was fully revised and stands alone as a novella, alongside a new selection of Clift’s essays and an afterword from her biographer Nadia Wheatley.

Nadia's talk will be accompanied by a visual presentation.

Books will be available for purchase and signing on the day.
