Cate Kennedy (AUS) is one of Australia’s leading literary figures. Her poetry and short fiction has won many awards and her story collection Dark Roots was published in the UK in 2008. Kennedy presents her first novel The World Beneath, a skillfully written portrayal of a triangle of relationships between a floundering family as an estranged daughter and father set out to try to reconnect on a hiking trip together. The World Beneath explores the way that our anxieties, accelerated by consumer culture and its obsession with appearances, get in the way of living genuine lives. |
