Listen "Talking Aussie Books with Monique Mulligan"
Episode Synopsis
**Warning: This podcast contains discussion of themes and issues some listeners may find distressing.**
Back in 2020, I had the pleasure of connecting with West Australian author Monique Mulligan and chatting with her on the podcast about her debut novel, "Wherever You Go". A book which occupies a spot on the short list of books in recent times that has made me cry. A beautifully written and heart-achingly real portrayal of grief and guilt.
Earlier this year Monique released her brand new novel, "Wildflower" (Pilyara Press). And, you guessed it...I cried AGAIN!
"Wildflower" is a gut-wrenching novel about the effects of domestic violence on women and children. It shines a light on an insidious problem through the eyes of an 11 year-old girl in the summer of 1979/1980.
A stunning novel that I cannot recommend highly enough.
It was an honour to chat with Monique about this book on the podcast recently.
