Author Information

Two Good began ten years ago as an ad-hoc Kings Cross cook-out for the area’s less fortunate. Their road-side barbecue evolved into Australia’s first organic soup kitchen at Saint Canice’s in Kings Cross and in June 2015 they launched their ‘Eat one, treat one’ model. For every meal purchased, they'd give an identical one to a local women’s refuge for domestic violence survivors. Since Two Good launched, and with the invaluable backing of their customers and corporate supporters, they have dedicated themselves to doing everything they can to restore a sense of self-worth in the women they serve. Chefs talk all the time about cooking with love. Two Good are inspired by that, and want to remind those who need it most that everybody deserves to feel worthy of that love. Thomas Keneally began his writing career in 1964 and has published thirty-three novels since, most recently The Dickens Boy, The Book of Science and Antiquities, Crimes of the Father, Napoleon’s Last Island, Shame and the Captives, and the New York Times bestselling The Daughters of Mars. He is also the author of Schindler’s List, which won the Booker Prize in 1982, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Gossip from the Forest, and Confederates, all of which were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He has also written several works of nonfiction, including his boyhood memoir Homebush Boy, The Commonwealth of Thieves, and Searching for Schindler. He is married with two daughters and lives in Sydney, Australia.
