Join Trevor Shearston at Gleebooks In Conversation with Tegan Bennett Daylight, as they discuss his new novel Hare’s Fur.
Set in the Blue Moutains, Hare’s Fur tells the story of a potter living a mostly solitary life until one day he hikes into the valley below his house to collect rock for glazes from a remote creek bed and he finds a chocolate wrapper on the path. His curiosity leads him to a cave where three siblings — two young children and a teenage girl — are camped out, hiding from social services and the police. Hare’s Fur tells an exquisite story of grief, kindness, art, and the transformation that can grow from the seeds of trust.
