Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world.

Today's episode features Kate Richards discussing her latest novel Fusion.

Fusion takes us to a cabin in the Australian bush. Within the cabin live Sea and Serene joined by their cousin Wren. Sea and Serene are conjoined twins who have escaped to the cabin from an institutionalised life where they were treated as freaks.

When one day Wren brings home an unconscious woman, the household is thrown into turmoil. The twins are healers, but can even they revive the badly beaten woman? And how did she come to be so far out in the bush?
