Join us for the launch of Gail Jones' new literary fiction novel, The Name of the Sister.
Gail Jones is one of Australia’s most celebrated writers. She is the author of two short-story collections and eleven novels, and her work has been translated into several languages and has received numerous literary awards. Originally from Western Australia, she now lives in Sydney.
Gail Jones’s new novel, set in Sydney and the Mars-red landscapes surrounding the remote mining town of Broken Hill, explores how stories about identity and history multiply in the absence of reliable facts. And then the stories redouble once the Unknown Woman is identified and given a name. In an urgent finale that neither of the major characters could have anticipated, contradictory clues will proliferate about the true name of the sister.
