Lonely, Sacred, Desperate and Divine:

Canberra Writers Festival presents

Something magical happens when beautiful writers approach the topic of the sacred and divine and tell a tale replete with human desire and frailty. In Little World, Josephine Rowe travels with a girl saint through North-west Australia in the 1950s all the way through to the onset of Covid in Victoria. Emily Maguire took the literary scene by storm with Rapture, the story of a medieval girl who rises to become a Pope, and all the twists and turns and qualities that would have needed to unfold in her life to make it so. Here they are in conversation with Canberra author, Tabitha Carvan.
