BEST-SELLING Australian author Monica McInerney and her latest book, Those Faraday Girls, is the first featured writer in The Sunday Times Big Book Club.
She will tour WA libraries this week talking to readers about her work and new book.
Set in Tasmania, New York and Ireland, Those Faraday Girls, which has rocketed to No. 2 spot on the Dymocks bestseller list, centres on an eccentric grandfather, five charismatic sisters, the niece they’ve collectively raised – and a secret that could destroy everything these women have grown up believing.
It’s filled with McInerney’s trademark warmth and humour and will engage readers of all ages.
The Sunday Times Big Book Club aims to promote the love of reading, encourage readers to give other titles that they might not necessarily read a go, support emerging and established local and Australian authors and bring together authors, libraries, communities,and booksellers in both regional and metropolitan areas.
The Big Book Club is supported by the Australia Council for the Arts, the State Library of Western Australia, in association with WA public libraries, The Sunday Times, and participating booksellers.
