Memorial Days: Geraldine Brooks in Conversation (SOLD OUT)

About
On Memorial Day in the US in 2019, Geraldine Brooks received a call from a brusque resident doctor that upended her world. Her beloved husband Tony Horwitz was dead. For three years she kept sorrow at bay, publishing her award-winning book Horse, managing the bureaucracy that surrounds the death of a spouse, and supporting their two sons. Then, she returned to Flinders Island, a place of meaning and mourning. In her first Newcastle Writers Festival appearance, Geraldine joins founding director Rosemarie Milsom for a heartrending conversation about her memoir, Memorial Days, and her journey towards peace.Location
