Today listeners I’m introducing you to another author whose gorgeous debut novel, called ‘All the Golden Light’ has just been published by HarperCollins.

A richly detailed, sweeping historical novel, 'All the Golden Light' is a snapshot of life for one woman living on the south coast of NSW at the tail end of WWI.

A time of darkness, deprivation and trauma - not only for the those who saw active service, but for those who were left behind. 

Author Siobhan O’Brien is no stranger to the publishing industry and has written for the Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue, InDesign and Monument. 

Siobhan’s other notable work was published back in 2004. A biography of Australian designer and socialite Florence Broadhurst, published by Allen & Unwin.

I was delighted to chat with Siobhan recently.
