Event Description

Karen Viggers is a novelist, wildlife and domestic animal veterinarian, and podcaster who loves nature, bushwalking and animals. She is the author of four bestselling novels, The Stranding, The Lightkeeper’s Wife, The Grass Castle and The Orchardist’s Daughter. Her work explores contentious issues, such as dying with dignity, displacement of First Peoples, wildlife conservation, clear-felling of native forests, and now, junior sport. Her latest novel Sidelines delves into the ongoing conversation about socially acceptable behaviour from parents on the sidelines of the sporting field. Dissecting both family and team politics, it
exposes the familiar rhetoric of craving success and doing anything to get it.

Join Karen at Yarra Junction library to hear more about her latest novel, learn about her writing process, and discover why she has become one of Australia's best loved authors.
