Join Petrarch's Bookshop at St Lukes as we launch The Underworld, the much awaited new novel from the Miles Franklin Award-winning author Sofie Laguna.
Martha Mullins is a misfit. Her mother is glamorous, aloof and judgemental. Her father, mostly absent. Academic and shy, Martha finds herself fascinated by the underworld, a place she learns about in Roman mythology classes at school. To Martha, the underworld and its divine inhabitants provide a place of refuge, escape, imagination and desire.
The Underworld is a wondrous novel from an author who wields her considerable powers with assuredness and grace. Funny, brave, insightful and clever, Martha will break your heart – then mend it – many times over.
Book sales available at the event.
Tickets includes a drink on arrival.
