Speaker: Kate Grenville.

Kate Grenville discusses her 2001 Orange-Prize winning novel, "The Idea of Perfection" and where her sources of inspiration came from. "The idea of perfection" is the story of the small town of Karakarook, and of Douglas Cheeseman and Harvey Savage - two people who seem the least likely in the world to fall in love. Unlike Felicity Porcelline, a woman dangerously haunted by the idea of perfection, they come to understand that what looks like weakness can be the best kind of strength. Kate proceeded to discuss the many, often unrelated ideas and inspirations that eventually lead to her prize winning novel. JSNWL Lunch Hour Talk held in the Lady Mayoress' Rooms, Town Hall, George Street, Sydney.
