The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally bestselling and much-loved Rosie trilogy by Graeme Simsion. This time, Don and Rosie have returned to Australia with a son who is struggling to fit in at school. Don enacts a plan to help, all the while contending with the Genetics Lecture Outrage, Rosie’s troubles at work and the opening of the world’s best cocktail bar. Simsion talks about the eagerly awaited finale of his hugely successful series with ABC RN’s Claire Nichols.
Anna and Annie are excited to hear that Heather Rose's Stella Prize-winning novel The Museum of Modern Love has been sold into the UK and US markets, as well as the news that we'll be getting a new title from bestselling Australian author, Graeme Simsion, in 2019. Our book of the week is The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, a retelling of the Iliad from the perspective of the Trojan Queen-turned-slave, Briseis. Barker's working class origins lend a novel view to this ancient story but does it go far enough in its feminist project? Next week, Anna and Amanda are reading There, There by Tommy Orange.
