Lyrebird: Jane Caro in Conversation

About
Best known for her thought-provoking writing on gender, politics, and social justice, festival favourite Jane Caro turns her attention to crime fiction with Lyrebird, which is set in the Hunter Valley against the backdrop of rapidly escalating climate change. The premise? A body is found in bushland where a lyrebird was recorded by a university student 20 years earlier mimicking a woman’s terrified scream. Will action finally be taken? Jane speaks with Marieke Hardy about her compelling book and its themes of mothers and daughters, racism, the vulnerability of trafficked women and an older woman rediscovering her courage.Date
