Episode 38: Talking Aussie Books With Kate Murdoch

In addition to being an internationally-exhibited painter, Melbourne-based author Kate Murdoch has written two historical fiction titles and a host of short stories. Her latest novel, 'The Orange Grove' (Regal House Publishing), set in 18th century France is a remarkable study of domestic politics within the French aristocracy. Full of intrigue and heart-stopping tension, this beautifully written book offers a glimpse at what life might have been like for women of the time. Join me as Kate and I chat about her inspiration for this book, her research, writing, painting and much more.
