Kate Forsyth appeared at the 2018<br />
festival on the “Hearing our Grandmother’s<br />
Voices” panel, and again at the 2019<br />
festival discussing the French revolution<br />
and Chinese mythology. While Kate is<br />
best known for her fiction, she has written<br />
a bibliomemoir of their great-greatgreat-great-grandmother<br />
and author of<br />
Australia’s first known children’s book,<br />
Charlotte Waring, with her sister Belinda<br />
Murrell. The book, Searching for Charlotte,<br />
will be published by the National Library<br />
of Australia and will celebrate the 180th<br />
anniversary of Waring’s A Mother’s Offering<br />
to Her Children.<br />
Margaret Morgan’s dark and speculative<br />
novel The Second Cure is an exploration of<br />
a world confronted with a pandemic. It is<br />
eerily relevant in 2020, only two years after<br />
its publication. Excitingly, in 2019 Margaret<br />
announced the novel was being adapted<br />
into a miniseries by Bunya Productions.<br />
Bunya Productions is behind the 2017 film<br />
Sweet Country, winner of 8 different awards<br />
from the Australian Academy of Cinema<br />
and Television.<br />
