Maryrose Cuskelly is an award-winning Melbourne-based author of both fiction and non-fiction.Her debut novel, "The Cane" was published earlier this year by Allen & Unwin. A gripping, atmospheric crime novel set in the fictional sugarcane town of Quala in North Queensland in the 1970s.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was delighted to have the chance to speak with Maryrose on the podcast recently.
