Christine Courtenay & Nicola Marsh

Connected Libraries Book Matters Podcast

In our final episode for 2022 Carol has a wonderful chat with Christine Courtenay who has written a memoir about her late husband Bryce Courtenay. From his humble beginnings in Africa to his dazzling success in advertising and as a bestselling author, Bryce’s extraordinary, rags-to-riches life story reads like one of his epic novels. It was a life marked by all the big themes – overcoming adversity, love, loss, hard-won success, fame and fortune, and holding tight to a dream. Christine uncovers the events that shaped the man behind the stories – a man complex, driven and unfailingly positive, who never lost sight of his childhood dream to be a writer. Then to round off the year Janine speaks with Melbourne author of over 80 novels Nicola Marsh about her writing life and her new novel The Promise of Home - a rural fiction novel set in Victoria which would make an ideal book to take away for your summer holidays.

Lastly from all the team here at Book Matters we hope you all have a great festive season and we will be back in 2023 with more reading recommendations and interviews with a whole new group of writers
