The subtitle of Sarah Krasnostein’s brilliant book The Trauma Cleaner about Sandra Pankhurst reads One Woman’s Extraordinary Life in Death, Decay & Disaster. The title could go on to add – husband and father, drag queen, gender reassignment patient, sex worker, small businesswoman, trophy wife and deeply compassionate human being. Krasnostein’s book is also about hoarders and trauma cleaners and loneliness and hope. Chaired by Kate de Goldi.
