Live Book Event: Christian White, Author of Wild Place

Bestselling author Christian White will be joining us LIVE to discuss his latest novel Wild Place. Christian will also be taking questions.

Christian White is an Australian author and screenwriter whose projects include feature film Relic. The Nowhere Child was his first book and one of Australia’s bestselling debut novels ever. An early draft of this novel won the 2017 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript. Clickbait, a television series Christian co-created with Tony Ayres (The Slap), starring Adrian Grenier (Entourage), was released by Netflix in August 2021 and went straight to #1 in 41 countries. Christian’s keenly awaited second book, The Wife and the Widow, was published by Affirm Press in 2019 and became an instant bestseller. The setting of his third novel Wild Place is modelled on the area of the Mornington Peninsular where he grew up. Today he lives nearby in Balnarring, Victoria.

                      Synopsis

                      In the summer of 1989, a local teen goes missing from the idyllic Australian suburb of Camp Hill. As rumours of Satanic rituals swirl, schoolteacher Tom Witter becomes convinced he holds the key to the disappearance. When the police won’t listen, he takes matters into his own hands with the help of the missing girl’s father and a local neighbourhood watch group.

                      But as dark secrets are revealed and consequences to past actions are faced, Tom learns that the only way out of the darkness is to walk deeper into it. Wild Place peels back the layers of suburbia, exposing what’s hidden underneath – guilt, desperation, violence – and attempts to answer the question: why do good people do bad things?
