Join Ordinary Matter author Laura Elvery in-person at Avid Reader or online over Zoom as she interviews Kavita Bedford about her debut novel Friends & Dark Shapes.

Kavita’s novel is about a group of friends moving into a share house in Redfern. They are all on the cusp of thirty and big life changes, navigating insecure employment and housing, second-generation identity, online dating and social alienation—and one of them, our narrator, has just lost her father.

How do you inhabit a space where the landscape is shifting around you, when your sense of self is unravelling? What meaning does time have in the midst of grief?
