She delights readers with her skilled and thrilling novels; induces envy in fellow writers with her prolific and wide-ranging output; and recently caused an international bidding war among publishers for her major new novel, The Book of Guilt.

Kate De Goldi meets the two-time Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction winner Catherine Chidgey in an exclusive first event for The Book of Guilt.
