Hilde Hinton

For many years, Hilde was a secondhand book dealer who read in her spare time. Then she found the courage to write her first novel and was brave enough to share it with a publisher.

That critically acclaimed novel, The Loudness of Unsaid Things, made a number of bestseller lists. 

She has since published two more novels, A Solitary Walk on the Moon and The Opposite of Lonely. Hilde is still a reader, and now a best-selling writer. She lives in Melbourne and is an avid collector of glass fruit, Lego and interesting stories.

Hilde will be joining our special cruise departure Frozen Chapters: A Literary retreat to Antarctica in November 2026
