Place as Person

Over on her blog, Mary Victoria is hosting a series of guest blogs on the role of place as a character in novels. She has had some fascinating posts with authors ranging from Lisa Hannett, Angela Slatter, Alan Baxter, Gillian Polack, Helen Lowe, Tim Jones and Joshua Palmatier to name just a few and there are more to come. Place as a person or even as an actual character is a time honoured trope in novels and it's fascinating to read here how different authors use it in their writing.
