The Hummingbird Effect
Kate Mildenhall In Conversation With Astrid Edwards
An epic, kaleidoscopic story of four women connected across time and place by an invisible thread and their determination to shape their own stories.
It’s one of the most anticipated Aussie novels of the year. A genre-bending feast of a book that’s being compared to cult favourites like David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad.
