Join internationally bestselling Australian author Pip Williams for an intimate conversation about her much-anticipated new novel, The German Ward.
France, 1915. An English nurse and German doctor fall in love. He is a prisoner of war; she has never cared for rules. Their love is visceral and urgent, forbidden and doomed, and it would have gone unrecorded if not for a series of drawings found more than a century later.
Returning to the world of The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Bookbinder of Jericho, The German Ward is a sweeping story of forbidden love, art and history, and the lives and stories so easily lost to time.
“Some characters insist you tell their story. Tilda Taylor – actress, suffragette and difficult woman – is one of them.” — Pip Williams
Pip Williams is one of Australia’s most significant writers, with her work translated into more than 30 languages. Her writing has received major literary and industry awards, reached the New York Times Bestseller List and been selected for Reese’s Book Club.
Hosted by Cate Worsley
