Sydney Writers' Festival: Meet Inga Simpson
Sydney Writers’ Festival is coming to your neighbourhood! In her latest environmental thriller, The Thinning, Australian author Inga Simpson shares her astonishing insights into the ways humans interact with nature, simultaneously revering and destroying the environment…
The Thinning is a powerful literary page-turner about two young people in a race against time to reach a monumental solar eclipse.
Fin grew up by an observatory, learning about telescopes and planets from the passions of her parents. Now, Fin, her mother Dianella, and a group of outliers live off the grid, always on alert and ready to flee. The outside world is in turmoil, with extinctions and loss of biodiversity threatening the environment.
As a new disaster looms, Fin forms an unlikely partnership with a stranger from a new breed of evolved humans, the Incompletes, who are widely distrusted. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey to restore the natural world and humankind.
