In this episode, Clare speaks with Tahnee Dwyer about Christine Piper's 'After Darkness'. The conversation spans the entire text, as Tahnee expertly weaves through the three interwoven plotlines, culminating in a rather contentious epilogue. Piper's incredible skill in characterisation and use of setting to reflect a character's inner mind is explored, as well as the text's capacity to evoke empathy in the reader, to better understand the experience of individuals placed in impossible positions, and the ramifications of this on a life.
