We are back doing our second deep dive into Kate Mildenhall’s recently released book, The Hummingbird Effect. The first deep dive was mostly about the writing process. This episode is more about the book itself, and it is RIDDLED with spoilers so if you haven’t had the very great pleasure of reading The Hummingbird Effect then do that before listening.
We discuss:
- Whether *a*** **** was always going to die and in THAT way
- The links between the stories – what they are and when they entered the narrative
- Research
- World building choices
- The conscious use of metaphors in stories
Two other completely unrelated items are events that Katherine has coming up:
- Thursday 28th September at Eltham Bookshop (Melbourne) – Katherine will be hosting and talking to author and screen writer Nick Bhasin about his debut novel ‘I Look Forward to Hearing From You’
- Friday 6th October at Robinsons Book in Glen Waverly – Katherine will be hosting and talking to Clare Fletcher about her rural romance novel Love Match.
Book links will be in the show notes.
