About Letting the Light In
Three powerful NT authors – Renee McBryde, Karen Manton and Dina Davis – come together for an engrossing discussion about overcoming trauma and the shame of the past.
Renee McBryde’s latest memoir, Unravelling Us, explores a mother-daughter relationship steeped in lies and shame, and the painful process of bringing the past to light. Interspersed throughout her book are reflections on motherhood and intergenerational trauma, drawn from her experience as a social worker. Dina Davis’s novel, A Dangerous Daughter, examines the shame and blame of an eating disorder, and the power of the mind to heal. The Curlew’s Eye is Karen Manton’s debut novel, a haunting mystery set in the stifling tropical build up that examines the way trauma reverberates through the generations.
