Ep 264: Thunderhead by Miranda Darling

22 min • 9 maj 2024

Anna and Annie discuss the 2024 Stella Prize winner and the Women's Prize for Fiction shortlist.

Our book of the week is Thunderhead by Miranda Darling. A black comedy, set in suburbia, about one woman's struggle to be free, it has been described as a 'feminist triumph and homage to Virginia Woolf' (Australian Book Review). We love a short novel and this is a gem.

Coming up: The Busy Body with author Kemper Donovan.
