FrankTALK with Jane Caro

Next date: Monday, 07 April 2025 | 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM

Join us to hear one of Australia’s most respected writers and social commentators, Jane Caro, in conversation.

Jane Caro AM is a Walkley award-winning Australian columnist, author, novelist, feminist, public education activist and social commentator. She was awarded the B&T Women in Media Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023.
Once upon a time, she was a multi-award-winning advertising copywriter and an academic. These days, she is a full-time writer, novelist, speaker, MC and TV, radio and media pundit.
She has published thirteen books, including the bestselling novel The Mother. Lyrebird is her second novel for adults.

About the book:

Lyrebirds are brilliant mimics, so if they mimic a woman screaming in terror and begging for her life, they have witnessed a crime. But how does a young, hung over PHD student and a wet behind the ears new detective, convince anyone that a native bird can be a reliable witness to a murder, especially when there is no body and no missing person?

And what happens when they turn out to be right?

"No one writing in Australia is wiser" Miriam Margolyes
