Susan Wyndham on Elizabeth Harrower 

Elizabeth Harrower took the Australian literary scene by storm with four intense, original novels published in the 1950s and 60s. Then she abruptly ceased writing.

In Elizabeth Harrower: The woman in the watchtower, researcher and writer Susan Wyndham attempts to untangle the mysterious life of this remarkable woman.

Hear Susan bring together analysis of Harrower’s fiction, new research and her own experience, in conversation with Nicole Abadee.
