Gail Jones’s Salonika Burning

Gail Jones’s new novel Salonika Burning is a story of destruction and creation—set against the devastating Salonika fire of 1917, as we follow four real historical figures (Miles Franklin, Olive King, Grace Pailthorpe and Stanley Spencer) whose lives intertwine as they work the front line to heal the city.

Gail Jones continues to go from strength to strength, and this immersive novel will appeal to readers of both literary and historical fiction: an ideal point of entry into Jones’s celebrated body of work, or an enchanting return for her loyal readers.

Jones is one of Australia’s most celebrated writers—she’s authored two short-story collections and nine novels, and has won numerous prestigious literary awards, Bec Bowman caught up with Gail Jones for Artbeat.
