Sally Hepworth's brand new book "Darling Girls" in conversation with Lisa Ireland

Event Description

Join us at the Brighton Town Hall to celebrate the launch of Sally Hepworth's latest novel, "Darling Girls". Sally is the New York Times bestselling author of nine novels and a beloved Bayside local. Drawing on the good, the bad and the downright odd of human behaviour, Sally writes incisively about family, relationships and identity. Her domestic thriller novels are laced with quirky humour, sass and a darkly charming tone.

Sally will be in conversation with Lisa Ireland. Lisa is the author of seven novels, most recently, the fabulous "The One and Only Dolly Jamieson", which features libraries in a lovely way (librarians are big fans!). Her next novel, "The Studio Girls", will be published by Penguin Random House Australia in 2024. Lisa lives with her husband in Gippsland, Victoria. When she’s not writing, she spends her time mentoring emerging authors, drinking coffee, and playing minion to her incredibly spoiled dog, Lulu.

"Darling Girls" short description:

It's not just secrets buried at Wild Meadows.

For as long as they can remember, Jessica, Norah and Alicia have been told how lucky they are. Rescued from family tragedies and raised by a loving foster mother on an idyllic farming estate, they were given an elusive second chance of a happy family life.

But their childhood wasn't the fairy tale everyone thinks it was. And when a body is discovered under the home they grew up in, the foster sisters find themselves thrust into the spotlight as key witnesses. Or are they prime suspects?
