Better Read Than Dead and Penguin Random House proudly present afternoon tea with Judy Nunn.
Many years ago, as part of a local writers’ festival, Judy had the opportunity to visit the Houtman Abrolhos, a chain of islands off the coast of Geraldton. The desolation of the islands was the perfect inspiration for Sanctuary: What if people in search of sanctuary landed on this remote island, with no idea of where they might be, only to discover that, despite the starkness of the place, it provided everything necessary for their survival?
Join Judy, one of Australia's leading fiction writers, for a high tea of scones, sandwiches, sweets and champagne to celebrate the release of her 14th adult novel! I enjoy visiting other worlds, times, places, meeting, discovering and inventing new people. Creating a book and the people who inhabit it is a wonderful thing, and reading is also a wonderful thing. When I travel around Australia meeting and talking to people who engage as I do with books, and knowing that they happen to feel this way about my books... Well, this fact never ceases to delight and amaze me. It's a privilege, says Judy.
