Delia Falconer is the award-winning author of two novels, The Service of Clouds, The Lost Thoughts of Soldiers, and Sydney, a personal history of her hometown, where she still lives.
Her fourth book, Signs and Wonders: Dispatches from a time of beauty and loss, was published by Scribner Australia in 2021.
“With Delia’s writing… we have something hard to describe: something dead-set in the middle between hard-boiled and exquisite.”
