The Essential Past: Dame Fiona Kidman

  • Field & Green 262 Wakefield Street Wellington, Wellington, 6011 New Zealand (map)

‘The essential past doesn’t change, but how we look at it can,’ writes Dame Fiona Kidman in So Far, For Now, coming a decade after her last volume of memoir. ‘Perhaps that is one of the gifts of age –– a softening of the ages, an acceptance of how things have gone.’

Join Verb founder Claire Mabey for an afternoon tea at Field & Green as she talks to Dame Kidman about these ‘autobiographical essays’ that are also stories, travelogues, and a record of a writer’s journeys into the past, present, herself and the wild, wide world.
