CTS and Katharine Susannah Prichard Biographical Journey
In a backyard shed in Ainslie, CRT reflects on his life while writing his mother Katharine Susannah Prichard’s biography. He uncovers letters, notebooks, and sepia photographs that reveal patterns across her life and his.

The journey exposes long gestation periods of her novels, from early notes in 1908 to later works, and their close personal bond lasting 47 years before her death.
