Catherine Chidgey: The Book of Guilt at Sydney Writers Festival

Commonwealth Writers’ Prize winner Catherine Chidgey’s 10th novel is The Book of Guilt, described by The New York Times as “a landmark in the … canon of contemporary novels about unusual girls”.
With undertones of Shirley Jackson and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, the story’s teenage triplets discover – when the government decides to shut down their home –that some lives are valued more than others in this dystopian 1970s England.
Join Catherine, in conversation with Beejay Silcox, to hear about her deeply unnerving new novel.
