Sue Orr - Loop Tracks

from The Marlborough Book Festival · host The Marlborough Book Festival

Charlie, 15 and pregnant at a time abortion isn’t legally available in New Zealand, makes an impulsive choice with far reaching consequences in the opening chapters of Sue Orr’s latest novel. Loop Tracks tackles abortion, addiction, ageing, autism and euthanasia against a setting of Wellington’s first Covid-19 lockdown. They’re big topics tackled with sensitivity, elegance and humour in a work shortlisted for the 2022 NZ Ockham awards. Sue was in conversation with Tessa Nicholson at the 2022 Marlborough Book Festival.
