Join us for this free talk with Amanda Hampson as she discusses her latest book - a funny and astute tale about of the joys and challenges of enduring friendships.
When Maggie, Fran and Rose met in their youth, they had dreams and ambitions. Forty years later, the three friends are turning sixty, each of them restless and disenchanted with their lives. So when they embark on a trip to Europe retrace their youth… what could possibly go wrong?
Amanda Hampson was born in New Zealand and spent her early twenties travelling, finally settling in Australia in 1979 where she now lives in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. She is the author of two non-fiction books, numerous articles and novels The Olive Sisters, Two for the Road, The French Perfumer and The Yellow Villa.
Disenchanted with their lives, three old friends set off on a journey through Europe retracing the steps of a backpacking trip forty years earlier. What could possibly go wrong?
