August 27, 2011 02:30PM
location: MWF2011, Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne, VIC, Australia description: Authors Kate Grenville, Tess Gerritsen and Chris Womersley discuss the books they read as children and teenagers that gave them a love of reading, in an event about the power of literacy to transform lives. With Antoni Jach. |

“Everything in his life had come down to the sensation of her fingers against his. The person he was, the history he carried within himself, every joy and grief he had ever experienced, slipped way like an irrelevant garment. He was nothing but skin, speaking to another skin, and between the skins there was no need to find any words.”
― Kate Grenville, The Lieutenant
