Watch Chipo Chung read from Booker Prize 2024-shortlisted ‘Stone Yard Devotional’, written by Charlotte Wood.
The story so far: Burnt out and in need of retreat, a middle-aged woman leaves Sydney to return to the place she grew up, taking refuge in a small religious community hidden away on the stark plains of New South Wales. She doesn’t believe in God, or know what prayer is, and finds herself living a strange, reclusive existence almost by accident.
