Husband-and-wife co-authors Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist discuss their new novel, Two Steps Onward, the wise, witty and wine-filled follow-up to Two Steps Forward, their bestselling novel about walking the Camino.

Graeme is the internationally bestselling author of The Rosie Project, The Rosie Effect, The Rosie Result and The Best of Adam Sharp. He lives with Anne, co-author of Two Steps Forward and Two Steps Onward, in Melbourne.

Two Steps Onward is the wise, witty and wine-filled follow-up to Two Steps Forward, Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist’s bestselling novel about walking the Camino. It’s about helping the people you love, and knowing when to let go. Figuring out what you really want in life. And seizing your chances, before it’s too late. Three years after life got in the way of their long-distance relationship, Californian artist Zoe and English engineer Martin have an unexpected opportunity to reunite: a second chance to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims in Europe. This time, they won’t be walking the famous Camino de Santiago to north-west Spain but the less-travelled Chemin d’Assise and Via Francigena to Rome, along the mountainous paths from rural France.

This event is free to attend but bookings are essential as places are strictly limited.
