BOOK NOW DIRECT - THE BOOKSHOP BOWRAL

We are honoured to invite you to meet Anna Funder: author of the book of the moment, international bestseller and literary award-winner.

In Wifedom, we slip into the pages of Anna’s literary hero, George Orwell, as she uncovers his forgotten wife. We find Eileen O’Shaughnessy’s literary brilliance shaped Orwell’s work - yet she is written out of his story.

With Eileen’s letters, Funder recreates her life. Wifedom highlights the unsung work of women, illuminates the past and speaks to our present.

Anna Funder is the author of Stasiland and All That I Am - both international bestsellers, published in more than 24 countries - and the novella The Girl with the Dogs. Her books have won multiple literary awards, including the Miles Franklin.

She will be in conversation with Kylie Needham, award-winning screenwriter and the author of Girl in a Pink Dress.

Tickets: $70, includes dinner + glass of wine
