Kathryn Heyman and Toni Jordan in conversation — Readings Books

We are delighted to have Toni Jordan join Kathryn Heyman for a discussion on Heyman's new book, Circle of Wonders.

Roni is running out of time. As cancer claims her body, she begins a Book of Wonders, capturing the small, luminous moments she once overlooked. It's a final gift to the people she loves, and completing it means reckoning with both the flawed life she has lived and the fractured family she's about to leave behind. Over one charged lunar month, the women closest to her gather, each woman arrives wanting to protect Roni. But their clashing visions of what she needs threaten to tear them apart at the moment they should be closest.

Extraordinary, luminous and heart-expanding, Circle of Wonders is about facing death while rediscovering life, and about the messy grace that emerges when people who've hurt one another choose to love anyway.

Free, but bookings are essential.
