Woodend Winter Arts Festival: Author Discussion Panel ‘The Past is Present’
Authors Toni Jordan and Robert Hillman with Jan McGuinness - how does an author juggle two alternate stories that span different times?
How does an author juggle two alternate stories that span different times and places to bring the reader a coherent whole? Toni Jordan’s The Fragments gives us a vivid 1930s New York and 1980s Brisbane, and Robert Hillman takes the Holocaust to a sleepy Victorian town in The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted.
