Join us in Melbourne for a rich conversation, thoughtful insights, and community as we unpack the themes, characters, and impact of this acclaimed work. Whether you’ve finished the book cover to cover or are just curious to learn through discussion, all are welcome.
This month, we will be enjoying the spring sunshine and having a picnic at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, with a wet weather plan to meet at the Terrace Cafe. The exact location will be updated via our Whatapp Group and via Email.
