This is the fourth BOOKS & IDEAS event for the year, held at Montalto winery on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in conjunction with the Wheeler Centre. 

Enjoy a seasonal lunch at Montalto with Jane Caro, in conversation with Louise Swinn, to discuss her career as a public figure and first foray into literary fiction.

Jane Caro is one of Australia’s most respected writers, social commentators and – as of the 2022 Federal Election – a political candidate for the Reason Australia Party. She’s published 12 books, including her memoir, Plain Speaking Jane, and a trilogy for young adults about the life of Elizabeth Tudor. Her latest release The Mother is her first novel for adults. An absorbing thriller, The Mother follows recently widowed real estate agent Miriam, as she goes to any length to protect her daughter and grandchildren from the insidious effects of coercive control.
