Join celebrated writer and photographer Victoria Hannan in conversation with Genevieve Novak as they discuss her blissful new release, I Love the Whole World!
When Leslie McDonald wins a trip to Las Vegas, an absurd holiday becomes a pilgrimage; one that leads her back to joy, back to herself, and to the astonishing realisation that her life still belongs to her. Leslie had felt for some time that life was a series of things that just happened to her. When her physiotherapist husband dumps her for a woman with superior posture, she finds herself lost without a map. A ticket out of her misery comes in the form of an all-expenses paid trip to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
I Love the Whole World! is a celebration of life and self. Hilarious, joyous and beautifully observed, it is a novel about friendship, ageing and the extraordinary act of deciding to begin again.
Genevieve is a bestselling author, editor and columnist from Naarm / Melbourne. Her novels, No Hard Feelings and Crushing, have been published in Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the UK, and serve as a cursed mirror to neurotic women everywhere.
Don’t miss this joyous evening with two of Australia’s most compelling literary voices.
