But she wants to delve into Australian books – the ones she’s read and the ones she hasn’t – so that she can better understand this place we all call home. And so, Claudia’s setting out across Australia to meet some of our most beloved and brilliant writers, find out their secrets and experience Australia through the place, its people and the power of our stories. There are thousands of novels to choose from – classics to best sellers. And so Claudia is seeking out some of those books that have really touched a nerve and revealed something about who we are. So come with her as she explores the Books That Made Us.
