About
Australian author Pip Williams attracted international acclaim for her first novel The Dictionary of Lost Words. Spun from original research in the Oxford English Dictionary archives, it explored gender bias in the creation of history and language, set against the backdrop of the women’s suffrage movement and the Great War.
To celebrate the release of her follow-up work, The Bookbinder of Jericho, join Williams and host Kate Mildenhall for an intimate conversation at award-winning winery Montalto. Over a long lunch, Williams will speak about the runaway success of her fiction debut, the experience of seeing her work adapted into a stage play, and the creative process of bringing history to the page for a global readership.
Presented in partnership with Montalto
