We’ll tell you the book we’ve chosen for the month and you have 4 weeks to buy/borrow and read it. Paula and I will then record our conversation about the book and invite two other women to participate in the discussion via webcam (sounds complicated but it’s looking SENSATIONAL in my mind).
You can then watch the chat and participate via comments.
Sound like a plan?
Super.
Our first book is going to be a new Australian novel called Indelible Ink by Fiona Mcgregor. Some say it’s going to be as big as The Slap.
Booksellers Readings have posted the following review on the website:
Indelible Ink: Fiona McGregor
‘For a long time now, when people ask me a favourite Australian author, invariably I think and say Fiona McGregor. There is a gutsiness, a splendour and command of language and expression in her writing that thrills me every time I read her. Indelible Ink is a stunning book, a novel that addresses our world and our time with an acute and ferocious acumen. There is also tenderness here and there is wisdom. Marie King, the grandmother who begins to understand living and courage with her first tattoo, is destined, I think, to become of the great characters of Australian literature. This is a superb book by — undeniably now — one of our finest writers. Thanks for publishing this book. It’s f**king gold.’ Christos Tsiolkas

What is the next book going to be?
Great. I'm excited to see how this chat will work. Made sure I finished the book by today - felt like homework but in a good way!
