Local Libraries: Jacqueline Maley
Thu 9 Sep, 2pm
Sandringham LibraryDue to COVID-19, this event has been cancelled.
Walkley Award–winning journalist Jacqueline Maley sheds light on her striking debut novel The Truth About Her. Electrifying, compulsive and tender, it’s the story of a single mother and reporter whose career unravels in the wake of her exposé of a fraudulent wellness guru that ends in tragedy, and a workplace affair. Hear from Maley as she discusses her ‘intelligent, compelling, nuanced tale of guilt, culpability, pride, shame and atonement’ (Annabel Crabb) and the nature of stories—who owns them, who gets to tell them, and why we need them. With Maddison Connaughton.
