Kathy Lette, Australia’s long time champion of women is back. From Puberty Blues to now, HRT: Husband Replacement Therapy, Kathy has always charted women’s lives and is unerring in her insights and understanding of what it is to be a woman of a certain age.
In Kathy’s latest book, HRT : Husband Replacement Therapy, Ruby has always been the generous mediator, but at her 50th birthday party, Ruby takes her moment in the spotlight to reveal what she really thinks of her friends, family and colleagues. She also accuses her husband of having an affair and lambasts her mother and concludes with the throwaway comment that she has terminal cancer. She has cashed in her life savings and plans on taking her two sisters cruising into the sunset for a dose of Husband Replacement Therapy. Courageous? Or ruthlessly selfish?
What do you do when you’re told you’ve got terminal cancer at 50? Take up crochet, get religion and bow out gracefully? Or upend your life and spend every remaining minute exploring new pleasures?
Stirling Libraries – Karrinyup will also have a live screening of this Kathy Lette event. Places are limited so book now.
