Page Turners with The Nile


In this episode, John is joined by International Bestselling Author Holly Ringland. Holly is best known for her captivating novels, The Lost Flowers of Alice Heart and The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, as well as her National Bestselling Non-Fiction book The House That Joy Built. Holly’s new novel The World Beneath her feet is a story of homecoming, belonging, and the land that made us.

John and Holly discuss her prior success and how it strays from the experiences of most Australian homegrown authors, where inspiration strikes her and a little bit about her time living in England. Holly is a spectacular storyteller, so this episode is a treat.
