Join us in welcoming back Nadia Wheatley to talk to us about a lost Charmian Clift novella, ‘The End of the Morning’. Clift's autobiographical work has been edited by Wheatley.
Clift described this work: “ ’The End of the Morning’ is about a girl called Cressida Morley, who has appeared already in 'My Brother Jack', but I invented her first and her eccentric family who live in a weatherboard cottage on the edge of a beach. It is a book about young dreams and young longings and filled with sand and sea and sun and wind and seaweed draped on the front picket fence after a storm.”
Of course, that front picket fence and weatherboard cottage are in Clift’s hometown, Kiama.
THIS IS A JOINT EVENT WITH THE KIAMA & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Books will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.
Location: Kiama Library (upstairs)
Cost: $8 FOKL/KDHS members / $10 guests (includes afternoon tea).
