Born in Zambia, growing up in a small Irish town and finally settling in Tauranga Moana, Anne Tiernan’s path to writing has been shaped by the places she has lived. Her sharply funny and intensely moving debut novel Last Days of Joy was shortlisted for the 2024 Kate O’Brien Award and follows a cast of unforgettable characters uprooted from Ireland to New Zealand.
Sue Hoffart meets Anne Tiernan to discuss how travel and places have inspired Anne’s writing.
A Foot in Each Place is part of our debut programme, Into the Night. Join us for a special night of celebrating local authors, storytellers and artists. Over one evening we will present a series of talks across multiple venues in Tauranga CBD. Venue hop or stay in one place; the choice is yours.
