Rose Hartley speaks about her fierce and funny debut, Maggie’s Going Nowhere, the feel-good read of the summer!
A thoroughly relatable and offbeat heroine, Maggie Cotton is determined to sort out her hot mess of a life, after being dumped, disinherited and kicked off a three-year degree - all in the same day. For someone who’s spent her life avoiding hard work, she sure can move mountains when she’s got a little motivation.
Set in and around Collingwood and Camberwell, this novel is filled with plenty of gorgeous recognisable Melbourne moments.
'A compulsive and hilarious read. In Maggie, Hartley has created one of those indelible characters of whom we must thoroughly disapprove and yet cannot help but love.' Karen Joy Fowler 'Maggie's Going Nowhere is a whip-smart and heartwarming novel.' Miranda Tapsell.
