Join us at Rosny Library for an author talk with Tasmanian author Susie Greenhill, discussing her debut novel, The Clinking.Susie's story is set in the not-too-distant future on the island of lutruwita, where the seas glow blue with bioluminescence and ancient forests wither in the heat, and follows a young family caught in the eye of a storm. As an ecologist working on extinctions, Tom knows the world he loves is unravelling around him. He cares deeply for his wife Elena, a journalist, and their daughter Orla, but he is haunted by disappearing species and the news of bushfires, floods and famine. In his mind, the damage done to the Earth has tipped into the irreversible. Elena can only watch helplessly as Tom's grief consumes him. And then, one day, Tom vanishes. Alone, Elena asks herself, 'How can I be a mother to my child in this world?' In the remote south-west wilderness, she sets out to find answers and the hope she needs for herself and her daughter. But is there hope left to find? About the AuthorSusie Greenhill lives on the mouth of the Huon River in the far south of Lutruwita / Tasmania.
