The Naked Novelist|Show #40 The stifling air of an Australian country town Episode
You bring your children up to escape sorrow. You spend your best years trying to stop them witnessing it on television, in you, in your neighbours' faces. Then you realize, slowly, that there is no escape, that they must steer their own way through life's cruelties. We speak to Charlotte Wood about her third book, The Children, and what it's like to almost win Australia's most prestigious literary award.
