About The Event
Come hear two authors and journalists talk about their new books, and ahead of Mother's Day, how their mothers guided them in their literary journey.
Sheryl's latest memoir, Letters from Provence, charts the charms and challenges of living half the year in a small village in Provence, and how she was inspired by the dreams of her working class mother who had always wanted to visit Paris, but never got the chance due to her early death. Helen's famous Luna Park not only charts the history of one of Sydney's most famous institutions, but how all the special memories made with her mother there fostered her love for the place. Join the two for wine and nibbles for a cosy evening celebrating mums all across the world!
