Listen "Talking Aussie Books with Dinuka McKenzie"
Episode Synopsis
Last year I was privileged to interview an award-winning novelist whose debut novel became an overnight sensation.
As the winner of the illustrious Banjo Prize in 2020, Dinuka McKenzie quickly became a household name when her book 'The Torrent' was published by HarperCollins at the beginning of 2022.
Now, in 2023, Dinuka has followed up on the success of 'The Torrent' with another brilliant book - 'Taken'.
In this novel, we pick up where 'The Torrent' left off.
Tense and page-turning, this story had me invested from the get-go - riding alongside Detective Kate Miles as she navigates the emotional rollercoaster that is her life.
I was delighted to have the chance to speak with Dinuka about 'Taken' earlier this year.
