About this Event
Join us for an evening with international bestselling author Rosalie Ham. Rosalie burst onto the literary scene in 2000 with her novel The Dressmaker. After years of entertaining us with weird and wonderful older women characters adored by her readers, Rosalie now turns her trademark wit and shrewd observations to life itself in her first non-fiction book 'Look After Your Feet'.
Rosalie will be in conversation with Renee Price
About 'Look After Your Feet'
Some keen observations on the unexpected advantages and indignities of getting older.
An irreverent look at the darkly funny experience of getting older from one of Australia's favourite authors.
This book is dedicated to feet, much maligned and underappreciated, but without which we would travel far less.
Peppered with practical advice about all manner of things – cheese and wine for dinner is welcome and acceptable – Look After Your Feet is a brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of the wisdom that seems to accelerate as body parts deteriorate, and life* falls into place.
* Often just a little bit too late.
