The Women's Pages is about the choices and compromises women make, about their griefs and losses, and about the cold aching spaces that are left when they disappear from the story. It explores the mysterious process of creativity, and the way stories are shaped and fiction is formed. Right up to its astonishing conclusion, The Women's Pages asserts the power of the reader's imagination, which can make the deepest desires and strangest dreams come true.

Debra Adelaide invited us into her office at UTS to talk about her brilliant new novel. She tells us what inspired her to keep working on the short story that ultimately led to The Women's Pages, and discusses with us why she finds Wuthering Heights endlessly fascinating subject matter.
