The Quality of Light by Mark Hayward
You are invited to Petrarch's Bookshop as we launch The Quality of Light by Mark Hayward to be joined by Steve Biddulph.
When Matthew thinks about his youth, he pictures it as a mad, crazy scramble for meaning... Summer, though, was a golden time. It was just Matthew, his brother, and the wilderness: the lake, the mountains, the forest.
Fifty years later he sets out with his two sons to rediscover the remote cabin he helped build in the Tasmanian highlands. There, he is forced to reckon with a troubled past.
Part coming-of-age story, part psychological thriller, The Quality of Light is a profound meditation on memory, masculinity, and the healing power of nature.
Mark Heyward a Tasmanian author who lives between his two island homes in Tasmania and Lombok. He is married with four children.
All welcome. Free tickets provides general admission.
