About

Georgia Harper’s Dove asks what a day without men might be like; Mercedes Mercier's The Couples Retreat embodies a haunting past in an ex, and Jane Caro’s Lyrebird finds more truth in nature than men. Three of Australia’s best writers speak to the power behind women’s voices in crime fiction, and how that voice changes the violence and challenges the failure of law. Join us for what is sure to be an enthralling talk, and stay for a drink and nibbles with the speakers following their discussion.
