| Bio | Fisher Lavell is a working-class writer. Born to generations of rural poor, she was blessed with a trove of untamed stories and the stubborn will to tell them. Her first novel, A Seven Year Ache, was shortlisted for the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction. She can often be seen at a distance, a row of blue hills on the horizon, walking the gravel roads and endless green fields of the Swan River Valley. |
