The Ghost of Matter with Octavia Cade
Come to a literary reading by the author Octavia Cade, and take a tour of Ernest Rutherford's laboratory afterwards. The Ghost of Matter (Paper Road Press, 2015) is inspired by the life of young Ernest.
It's 1886, two young boys disappear in the Sounds. Their brother Ern, faced with a problem to which no solution can be found, turns to his laboratory – and to the smell of salt, soft voices in his ear, wet footprints welling seawater in the darkness.
