Geraldine Brooks - world's best writer of historical fiction!
Pulitzer prize winning author, Geraldine Brooks, is an avid fan of bookshops.
The sites and smells of her visits to used bookstores still linger, "they smelled like freshly cooked biscuits. It was something with the old paper."
Now living in the US, Geraldine is still a frequent bookshop patron, "good book sellers are a tribe without nationality. I think you can feel at home in any bookstore if it has a good book seller."
Geraldine Brooks joins Richelle Hunt and Brian Nankervis to muse about the importance of bookshops, thoughts on book clubs and her neighbour - Carly Simon, yes, that Carly Simon.
