(VIRTUAL) TALKS BY WOMEN WRITERS
ANNA GOLDSWORTHY
in conversation with NICOLE ABaDEE
Anna Goldsworthy’s accomplished first novel Melting Moments tells the story of Ruby Jenkins and of her family. The lives of three generations of Australian women are subtly, tenderly yet sharply and humorously drawn in this moving fiction debut by an award-winning writer.
Melting Moments is a quiet masterpiece. An intimate portrait and celebration of the interior life of a woman who is a dutiful daughter, wife and mother, it is certain to become an Australian classic. ALEX MILLER A generous and vivid picture of the microscopic details of so many women’s lives … a feminist document of a particularly penetrating kind. CARMEL BIRD PARTICIPANTSMulti-talented Anna Goldsworthy is an award-winning and writer and pianist. Anna was Newcomer of the Year at the 2010 Australian Book Industry Awards for her debut memoir, Piano Lessons. Her writing has appeared in The Monthly, The Age, The Australian, the Adelaide Review and The Best Australian Essays.
