Join us for a discussion about the wonderful debut novel, A Great Hope by London-based Australian author Jessica Stanley.

This novel is set between Melbourne and Canberra and begins a year after the death of politician John Clare, as the women who loved him are reckoning with the secrets he left behind and the unravelling of their own lives.

We are delighted to have Sophie Braham (head writer for Gruen on ABC) joining Stanley in conversation.
