Kate Mildenhall’s newly released third novel The Hummingbird Effect is an epic, kaleidoscopic story of four women connected across time and place by an invisible thread and their determination to shape their own stories.
Kate chats with Paul Dalgarno about the inspiration for her novel, combining historical and speculative fiction, use of AI, and how her fears and hopes for the future informed the story.
