Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland: Broken Brains

Writers, friends and co-authors Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland sit down with host Clare Bowditch for an honest, raw and deeply personal conversation about brain health – the physical and the mental – and their intertwined experiences of living with and supporting one another’s ‘broken brains’.

In their new book Broken Brains, Jamila and Rosie share their parallel experiences of illness, weaving together their own personal stories with the wisdom of those who have been there before. A candid and compassionate exploration of what it means to be sick – or to love someone who is – they offer comfort, solidarity and the understanding they both longed for at their lowest points.

With their signature warmth and humor, these two powerful and insightful women come together for a Melbourne-exclusive event to reflect on resilience, recovery and the immense power of friendship in navigating the hardest moments.

All bookings for this event include a copy of Broken Brains at the special price of $30 (RRP$36.99). You can purchase 1 ticket + 1 copy of the book, or 2 tickets + 1 copy of the book. Larger group bookings must also include at least 1 book for every 2 tickets.

Pre-purchased books will be available to collect on the day from the Readings bookstall. Books which are not picked up at the event will be available for collection only from Readings State Library Victoria store for one week after the event, until 17 May.
