Australian author Charlotte Wood's latest book Stone Yard Devotional was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Stone Yard Devotional talks about finding inspiration in personal upheaval and the stories that shaped Charlotte's childhood while merging with an entirely invented story about an enclosed religious community. 

Described as "one of Australia's most original and provocative writers" Charlotte Wood is the author of seven novels and three books of non-fiction. She's appearing at Word Christchurch at the end of this month.
