Vikki Wakefield's After You Were Gone

The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love. These are the stories that make us who we are. Vikki Wakefield is a celebrated author of young adult fiction. Her novel This Is How We Change the Ending was a Book of the Year in the 2020 CBCA Awards. Today she’s joining us with After You Were Gone, her first novel for adults and fans of her writing will recognise the tense realism and sharply drawn characters that infuse her work. Abbie isn’t a bad mum. Like so many parents she is exhausted, overworked, trying her best when one day someone takes advantage and steals her daughter Sarah from a busy street market. Six years later and Abbie has another life. She can never move on from that tragic day but she is trying. That is until a phone call offers the tantalizing hope; knowledge of Sarah. All Abbie has to do is blow up her life… Find Vikki and discover her work Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople Want more great conversations with Australian authors?
