The New Ships - Kate Duignan in conversation with Kate De Goldi.
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to hear Kate Duignan be interviewed by Kate De Goldi about her stunning Ockham New Zealand Book Awards nominated novel, The New Ships.
Set in Wellington and traversing London, Europe and the Indian subcontinent, it is a mesmerising book of blood ties that stretch across borders, with a Wellington lawyer at its centre. A novel of acute moral choices, this is a rich and compelling meditation on what it means to act, or to fail to act.
Kate’s first novel Breakwater (2001) received critical acclaim and her work has been widely published in journals and anthologies. Now living in Wellington with her partner and children, she held the prestigious Robert Burns Fellowship at Otago University in 2004.
