Adelaide Writers Week: Amy Stewart

Sunday 5 March

2.30pm

Session: Just Wicked

For Kate Summerscale true crime warrants true accounts of some of Victorian England’s most grisly murders. For Amy Stewart history is a launching pad, a place where real characters’ stories are imagined. In The Wicked Boy, Summerscale tells the story of a woman murdered by her sons. In the Kopp Sisters books, Stewart brings to life stroppy sisters solving crimes. Join them for a conversation about history and crime with Kate de Goldi.

Location: East Stage, Pioneer Women’s Memorial Garden

Session: The Drunken Botanist

New York Times best-selling author Amy Stewart is known for both her books on horticulture as well as on crime. She has taken experts and novices alike into her garden, be it with drunken botany, diabolical insects, wicked weeds – even earthworms. Join her for a lunch curated by chef Paul Baker in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens for a leisurely conversation about our botanical world.
