Kate Evans and Cassie McCullagh are joined by regulars Hannah Kent and Tom Wright to talk new fiction from three major voices: Maggie O’Farrell’s Land, an expansive novel set in famine-era Ireland that traces memory, myth and the imprint of history on place; Ann Patchett’s Whistler, a sharp story of family, lost fathers and the long shadow of childhood; and Christine Balint’s A Single Witness, which follows a teenage girl confronting her community and the law in 18th-century Italy.~ OTHER BOOKS MENTIONEDMaggie O'Farrell, worksAnn Patchett, worksChristine Balint, worksGeorge R.Stewart, Names On The Land Sumner Locke Elliott’s Careful, He Might Hear You Tusiata Avia, Big Fat Brown Bitch Dominic Hoey, 1985Ingrid Horrocks, All Her Lives: Nine StoriesTāme Iti, MANA~ CREDITSPresenter: Kate EvansProducer: Kate Evans, Sarah CorbettSound: Micky Grossman, Isabella TropianoArts editor: Rhiannon Brown
