'It was a privilege to hear the multi-award-winning author of many books for children, biographer of Charmian Clift and now memoirist, Nadia Wheatley. Nadia’s talk focused on her recent book, Her Mother’s Daughter, the intense and complex story of her mother Neen’s life, and Nadia’s memories of childhood, a relationship truncated by her mother’s death when she was only nine. These memories were tended by Nadia, taken out and drawn on over the years to keep her presence real.' (Introduction)
