Experience the Sydney Writers’ Festival 2024 from the comfort of the Harry Bailey Memorial Library, Yarrila Place, with live-streamed sessions delivered locally.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The gripping, heart-rending follow-up to Little Fires Everywhere
Banning books, waving flags and persecuting racial minorities. Sound familiar? Celeste Ng’s third novel, Our Missing Hearts, is set in a marginally more dystopian version of Trump’s America as a patriotic new law removes children from dissident parents.
After New York Times–bestselling novel Little Fires Everywhere – which was adapted into a popular miniseries starring Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon – comes a similarly moving tale about the unbreakable bond between a mother and son.
Sit down with Celeste and host Claire Nichols to discuss hope, hero librarians and the power of art to create change.
