Giulia Giuffre’s work Primavera’ is an unusual (possibly even eccentric, certainly original) book. It is an Australian-Italian memoir of childhood and family in the second half of the 20th Century. It is an exhilarating epic of domestic life that takes the reader from the rules for cooking pasta to the love that gives life meaning via chapters on food, language, reading, ritual, mothers, music and much more. Join us for the love of words and life.

Read about Guilia and her new book, as she talks about how ‘David Malouf [told] her not to worry about categorising what she was writing but just to write.’

Free, no need to book.
