Author Event: Monica McInerney at Devonport Library

In her new novel, When Sullivan Met Lola, Monica writes with her signature warmth, wit and deep understanding of family. Here she explores ageing, childhood loneliness and the way ordinary acts of care can alter the course of a life. When Sullivan Met Lola is a novel about being seen before it is too late, and about the unlikely friendships that bring us back to ourselves.

Monica grew up in a family of seven children in the Clare Valley of South Australia. She and her Irish husband have been living between Australia and Ireland for thirty years. They currently live in Dublin.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Devonport Bookshop at the event - chat to Monica as she signs them for you.
