Author Talk: Katherine Johnson @ Kingston Library

Tasmanian writer Katherine Johnson is the author of four novels. Paris Savages is based on the true story of ‘human zoos’ in Europe in the late nineteenth century. It was shortlisted in the ABIA awards and was The Times Historical Fiction Book of the Month in June 2020. Katherine’s third novel, Matryoshka or Russian dolls, is a story of secrets, refuge and loves lost and found. Her previous novels include The Better Son, set in northern Tasmania’s caves, and Pescador’s Wake, the story of the danger and heartbreak of lives at the mercy of the sea during a three-week Southern Ocean chase.
