PENGUIN BOOKS AND ROARING STORIES PRESENT: THE LAUNCH OF MOTHERTONGUES
Mothertongues is a genre-defying, collaborative marvel that brings the absurdity of motherhood to the page. Described by Paul Kelly as 'a great rattlebag of a read …stimulating, funny and heartbreaking,' and by Markus Zusak as 'an odyssey of ideas, with the heart to match them' Mothertongues is daring, insightful and utterly unique.
On Thursday 5 April, this extraordinary book will be given a special launch at The Royal Oak Balmain. Hosted by Jemma Birrell and with both authors in attendance, there will be conversation, readings from the book, and live performances from the original songs from the Mothertongues album by Keppie Coutts (accompanied by Maria Alfonsine and Damian de Boos-Smith).
Whether you're a mum or not, please join us at what's sure to be a hugely enjoyable evening of captivating ideas, beautiful music and insightful discussion.
