SUMMARY:Eye of the Needle by Christopher Raja
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to have Raeden Richardson host the launch of Christopher Raja’s novel\, Eye of the Needle.\n\nIn 1882 a young Afghan named Kadir lands in Port Augusta. He has arrived with six camels to make his fortune\, and so becomes the transport for a scientific expedition into the red centre. More than a century later a young man named Kris comes of age in the Melbourne suburbs\, having emigrated from India with his family when he was just a boy. After the trauma of his father’s mysterious death\, Kris gravitates to St Kilda in search of a bigger world.\n\nFate will lead Kris to drugs and sex and love. He will learn what it truly takes to write a novel about the visionary life: the tale of a cameleer who comes across the seas from Asia and is drawn into the dazzling heart of the continent\, where all is revealed – the ancient peoples\, power and possession\, lies and lust\, faith\, death\, and what really matters.\n\nFree\, but bookings are essential.

SUMMARY:No One’s Looking by Brooke Davis
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host the launch of Brooke Davis’s new novel\, No One’s Looking.\n\nWhen Susan first meets her sister\, Vicki\, she puts a hand on the new baby’s tiny forearm\, and Vicki stops screaming. Just like that. If only it were so easy forty-five years later. Susan has always been the quiet\, nice sister\, but her husband’s sudden demand for an open marriage – and a rather large purple object she’d forgotten about – provokes a slow-dawning epiphany: being the ‘good’ girl doesn’t always mean it’s good for you.\n\nJust down the road\, Vicki listens at the door of her seventeen-year-old daughter’s room – her only child – and is shocked at what she hears. Her old urge to scream builds. As she listens to a true crime podcast and doom scrolls the news headlines\, she can feel a terror building in her bones. She can’t help believing something very bad is going to happen. It’s January in suburban Australia – stinking hot\, the sound of tennis and cricket on telly\, the threat of bushfires in the air. Vicki is right\, something is unravelling. Rage\, desire\, fear\, wonder (and the occasional nipple) are unleashed. In the aftermath\, will Susan and Vicki ever find out what’s possible when no one’s looking?\n\nNo One’s Looking is an original\, wise and life-affirming novel that shows it is never too late to change who people expect you to be.\n\nFree\, but bookings are essential.
