Writers in the Library – Brooke Dunnell
On Saturday 12 October author Brooke Dunnell will be at the Mandurah Library as part of the Mandurah Library Writers in the Library series that aims to bring together authors and readers to foster a love of reading and encourage creativity in the community.
With her prize money, Fogarty Literary Award winner Brooke Dunnell travelled to Eastern Europe to research her second novel, Last Best Chance. Brooke says she wanted Last Best Chance to embrace uncertainty, with characters dealing with multiple moral complexities and who struggle to find their feet on foreign soil. Brooke says ‘The idea of writing a story about a woman undergoing fertility treatment overseas had been on my mind ever since I came across online forums where women, mostly from the United States, travelled to Prague or Brno for more affordable IVF.’
This is a free event and a morning tea will be served at 10.30 am with Brooke’s discussion to commence at 10:30 am. Following the presentation there will be the opportunity to ask questions, purchase books and have photos taken with Brooke. Bookings are required and places are limited, so secure your spot by contacting the Library on 9550 3230 or emailing them at manlib@mandurah.wa.gov.au.
