There's been some big news coming out of SARA in recent weeks. Grab a beverage, nab a chocolate biscuit, take a seat and enjoy!
First cab off the literary rank is Amy T Matthews' impending Wakefield Press release, END OF THE NIGHT GIRL. This is the manuscript that saw Amy taking out the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature Unpublished Manuscript Award last year . Check out that awesome cover. Big congrats Amy, and all the best with the upcoming launch!
Two novels teasingly combine in one as End of the Night Girl explores the shadow cast by the Holocaust across centuries, continents, and cultures. Molly’s story, set in Adelaide and told in the first person, is a sassy modern drama of a young woman’s search for purpose amid confused family, sexual and social relationships. Under Molly’s pen emerges, jigsaw-like, the third-person Holocaust story of Gienia, a murdered young Polish Jewish woman who may or may not be fictional. Winner 2010 Adelaide Festival Award for Best Unpublished Manuscript.
Amy will also guest spot on the 7:30 Report soon about her novel. Stay tuned!
