Memorial Days: Geraldine Brooks in Conversation Livestream
About
On Memorial Day in the US in 2019, Geraldine Brooks received a call from a brusque resident doctor that upended her world. Her beloved husband Tony Horwitz was dead. For three years she kept sorrow at bay, publishing her award-winning book Horse, managing the bureaucracy that surrounds the death of a spouse, and supporting their two sons. Then, she returned to Flinders Island, a place of meaning and mourning. In her first Newcastle Writers Festival appearance, Geraldine joins founding director Rosemarie Milsom for a heartrending conversation about her memoir, Memorial Days, and her journey towards peace.This event will be live streamed. Details for the Zoom event will be emailed to you after 8.00am AEDT on the day of the event. If you have not received this information prior to the event please check your spam folder.
