A craft-focused book club for writers who want to understand how and why award-winning contemporary novels work. Open to members of Hunter Writers’ Centre.April's Book: 'The Burrow' by Melanie Cheng
Shortlisted Stella Prize 2025
‘Melanie Cheng’s The Burrow is stupendously good. This is a novel that deals with the crucial elements of our lives – love and family and grief and guilt and responsibility – and does so without a whiff of sentimentality and does so fearlessly. As in real life, the characters keep surprising us. The power of The Burrow is in the unflinching yet empathetic command of the novelist, in the candid beauty of the language. It’s a remarkable work, nuanced and human and adult.’ – Christos Tsiolkas
