#About the event
Duration: 45 minutes
Holly Ringland is an author whose two novels are adored both in Australia and around the world. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (her 2018 debut), with its language of flowers and story of survival and identity touched a nerve with readers and continues to do so. In 2022 she published her second novel, The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, also to great acclaim. Holly writes landscape and love, secrets and trauma, myth and magic with power, with heart and immense skill. She’ll speak about what it was like to follow up a big hit of a novel, what she understands now about the kind of writer she is, her pathway to writing and writing place during a pandemic.
