About the Event

‘A joyful whiplash of friendship and secrets, of love and betrayal, of ugly rentals and beautiful summers.’ Caroline O’Donoghue, bestselling author and host of the award-winning podcast Sentimental Garbage, arrives in Melbourne to discuss her new novel. Set in Ireland against the backdrop of the post-economic crash of 2009, The Rachel Incident delves into the realm of youthful yearnings, early adulthood, and the bittersweet transition from carefree student to responsible professional. Join O’Donoghue and host Abigail Ulman live at the Wheeler Centre as they discuss the danger and delight of youthful dalliances, and the great love story of enduring friendship.
