In Your Favourites’ Favourites, our most-loved writers introduce one of their favourite authors. 

International bestselling author of Burial Rites, Hannah Kent, sees the intricate connections between place and the human heart in Charlotte McConaghy’s new novel, Wild Dark Shore.

On a remote island, home to the world’s largest seed bank, a dispirited family encounters a woman washed up on their shore. Both parties are wary of each other, and protective of their secrets, even as gathering storms threaten the precious seeds.

Listen as Hannah and Charlotte talk about the depths of love and the lengths we’ll go to to protect each other. 
Wild Dark Shore shows her at the height of her powers. Breathtaking.
