Author Talk: Hugh Mackay

The Therapist, from bestselling author Hugh Mackay, is a powerful and poignant story of deception, ambiguity, lust and love – and the challenge of living with the consequences of our actions. Martha Elliott, maverick psychotherapist, harbours some dark secrets from her own past, and is more interested in achieving good outcomes for her clients than playing by the rules.

Rob, Martha's colleague, is trapped in a tempestuous relationship with the beautiful and feisty Constancia, and Martha wonders if he will ever find the resolve to free himself.

Samantha, Martha's daughter, hears her biological clock ticking, but finding the right sperm donor is proving to be harder than she expected...

Then there's the mysterious couple who arrive in Martha's office. Who are they? And what is it that they know about her?

This event starts at 6pm for refreshments, with the author talk beginning at 6:30pm. Bookings are essential.
