Todays interview guest is the luminous Alice Robinson, author of If You Go, as well as two previous novels - Anchor Point, longlisted for the Stella Prize and the Indie Book Awards and The Glad Shout, shortlisted for an Aurealis Award and The Colin Roderick Literary Award and winner of the Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction.

Alice and I chat about separation, grief and how time changes our understanding of ourselves as parents, and of our own parents and how they parented us. I loved this conversation, and I adored If You Go - if you havent read it - hurry to get a copy now.
