Jane Caro is one of Australia’s most respected writers, social commentators and – as of the 2022 Federal Election – a political candidate for the Reason Australia Party. She’s published 12 books, including her memoir, Plain Speaking Jane, and a trilogy for young adults about the life of Elizabeth Tudor.
Her latest release The Mother is her first novel for adults. An absorbing thriller, The Mother follows recently widowed real estate agent Miriam, as she goes to any length to protect her daughter and grandchildren from the insidious effects of coercive control.
Over lunch and wine at Montalto, Caro will join host Louise Swinn to discuss her career as a public figure and first foray into literary fiction.
The bookseller for this event is Antipodes Bookshop and Gallery.
