Encore - Charlotte Wood on The Natural Way of Things

Final Draft - Great Conversations

Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world.

Today's episode takes us back to November 2015 and Charlotte Wood's fifth novel The Natural Way of Things.

In a desolate outback town a group of women awaken to find themselves imprisoned. Strangers to each other they are locked away for reasons only dimly apparent.

At the mercy of increasingly brutal captors, in turn the servants of a distant master, will these women be able to understand their fate and escape the shackles of their present?

Thank you for joining me on this encore performance. This interview has never been broadcast in its entirety.

It was a journey to listen back to this interview which was such a favourite at the time of recording. Taking the time to listen back has taught me a lot about my recording, editing and interviewing style and allowed me to learn from my past experiences.

I hope you enjoy this favourite and timeless Australian novel. Thanks for joining me each week to discover Australian literature!
