Book Club - All Our Shimmering Skies by Trent Dalton

In this episode I workshop Trent Dalton's highly anticipated second novel, All Our Shimmering Skies, with my clever editor friend Julie Collard. Both Jules and I enjoyed this book - it is a true sensory experience. It centres on the story of big hearted, motherless Molly Hook, a gravedigger's daughter, and her quest to not only navigate her toxic father and uncle but get to the bottom of a curse that she believes Aboriginal elder Longcoat Bob placed on her family. It is an odyssey of big love and big danger that is simultaneously about darkness and light. But I assure you, it will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful. If you love big blockbuster stories, historical fiction and fairytales, then you'll love this book. Check out the show notes on the website here for more info. Thanks so much for being part of our book club!
