Bookings absolutely essential. Limited to 50 places.

Cass Moriarty is in-conversation with multi-award winning author Graeme Simsion discussing The Rosie Result - the final instalment in the much-loved and internationally bestselling Rosie trilogy. 

Join 2014 Nib and Stella Award winner Clare Wright in conversation with Suzanne Leal to discuss this important work, You Daughters of Freedom: The Australians who won the vote and inspired the world.
This book brings to life a time when Australian democracy was the envy of the world—and the standard bearer for progress in a shining new century. For the ten years from 1902, when Australia’s feminist activists won the vote for white women, the world looked to this trailblazing young democracy for inspiration.

Wright’s epic new history tells the story of that victory—and of Australia’s role in the subsequent international struggle through the eyes of five remarkable players.

La Trobe University historian Associate Professor Clare Wright has worked as an author, academic, political speech-writer, historical consultant, and radio and TV broadcaster. Her earlier book, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka, won the 2014 Stella Prize and the 2014 NIB Award for Literature and was shortlisted for many other awards. 

Suzanne Leal is the author of novels The Teacher’s Secret and Border Street. A lawyer experienced in child protection, criminal law and refugee law. She is the senior judge for the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and a former judge of ‘The Nib’ Award. She is a regular facilitator at literary events and festivals, and reviews book for The Australian.

Refreshments served. Bookings essential. Books will be available for purchase on the night, with thanks to Nib Award Community partner, Gertrude and Alice Bookstore Cafe.

The Helpline is a sharp, witty, big-hearted comedy from a hilarious new Australian writer, Katherine Collette.

Join Katherine in conversation as she discusses the divisive nature of the office fridge and other themes of her new novel which is all about people power and brain power—and the difficulty of getting them to work together.

Hear internationally bestselling author Graeme Simsion talk about this highly anticipated new novel, in conversation with clinical psychologist Professor Tony Attwood, known worldwide for his knowledge of Aspergers Syndrome. The conversation will be moderated by Barb Cook.

When first published, the quirky story of Don, a middle-aged autistic man’s search for love, had a profound impact on people worldwide, and generated a positive discussion of difference and acceptance in society.

The Rosie Result sees Don and Rosie return, managing the twists and turns of everyday life, but this time the problem to solve is how to help their eleven-year-old son, Hudson, make his way in the world. It’ll have you cheering with joy!

Graeme will be signing books after the event, with Riverbend Books selling copies.

For the ten years from 1902, when Australia’s suffrage campaigners won the vote for white women, the world looked to this trailblazing young democracy for inspiration. 

Clare Wright’s epic new history tells the story of that victory—and of Australia’s role in the subsequent international struggle—through the eyes of five remarkable players: the redoubtable Vida Goldstein, the flamboyant Nellie Martel, indomitable Dora Montefiore, daring Muriel Matters, and artist Dora Meeson Coates, who painted the controversial Australian banner carried in the British suffragettes’ monster marches of 1908 and 1911. 

Clare Wright’s Stella Prize-winning The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka retold one of Australia’s foundation stories from a fresh new perspective. With You Daughters of Freedom she brings to life a time when Australian democracy was the envy of the world—and the standard bearer for progress in a shining new century.

At the Sydney Institute, Clare Wright will be delivering for the first time her talk, Crafting the Nation: The Story of a Banner, a Bicentennial and a Berth in the Big House of Australian Democracy.

Graeme Simsion has done it again. After almost 5 million copies of The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect sold in more than 40 countries, after movie rights sold to Sony Pictures and a cast of celebrity fans praising these books, the much anticipated last instalment in the beloved Rosie Trilogy, The Rosie Result has finally arrived. We are lucky enough to welcome Graeme to the Hills to launch his book!

The Rosie Result moves forward in time, with Don and Rosie back in Melbourne after a decade in New York, and they're about to face their most important project so far, their son Hudson. Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters and an ending that will have readers cheering for joy, The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally bestselling series that began with The Rosie Project. 

This promises to be a very entertaining evening indeed. We hope you can join us.
