Karori Library Cauldron of Creation: this month’s new fiction
- Wellington City Libraries
- However, this month’s choice was easy – the new book by top Irish writer Liz Nugent Strange Sally Diamond leapt immediately to the top of the list, especially with our very unexpected role in its creation. Let me elucidate – way back on Thursday 3 October 2019, we staged a very special event at Karori Library in conjunction with the Ngaio Marsh awards. This event featured Liz Nugent in conversation with our own multi award winning author, Kirsten McDougall.
