Australia’s beloved author Rosalie Ham, best known for the international bestseller The Dressmaker, comes to Canberra with her signature wit and sharp observations in her latest book, Look After Your Feet.


In this darkly funny and refreshingly honest exploration of ageing, Ham reflects on the curious reality of getting older, when wisdom grows as body parts begin to fail, and life somehow starts making a little more sense.


Packed with practical advice (including why cheese and wine for dinner is perfectly acceptable), Look After Your Feet is an irreverent and insightful celebration of the unexpected advantages and unavoidable indignities of later life.


Join Rosalie Ham in conversation with The Canberra Times’ Sally Pryor for an entertaining evening of laughter, candour, and hard-earned wisdom.
