Book Club pick for May is The Opposite of Lonely by Hilde Hinton. It will be on Thursday the 15th of May from 5.30-6.30pm. We will be joined by the lovely author herself for this book club meet!

 

About the book:

Rose knows that she should be happy. She has a thoughtful son, a kind boss and a dream box full of savings for a rainy day. But sometimes the brick in her chest gets so heavy that it's all she can do to simply watch the minutes tick by on the oven clock.

Things change when a stranger arrives. Rose can't believe that someone like Ellie would want to be her friend. Ellie always knows what to do. She is bright and shiny and so caring. With Ellie by her side, things feel possible again, and Rose starts to remember who she is. Soon, she can't imagine how it was without Ellie there.

Sometimes, all you need is one friend to change your life. Because the best things in life are free. Aren't they?

 

About the author:

For many years, Hilde Hinton was a secondhand book dealer who read in her spare time. Then she found the courage to write her first novel and was brave enough to share it with a publisher. That critically acclaimed novel, The Loudness of Unsaid Things, made a number of bestseller lists. Her second novel, A Solitary Walk on the Moon, proved Hilde's talent was developing and now she is about to publish her third novel. Hilde is still a reader, and now a bestselling writer. She lives in Melbourne and is an avid collector of glass fruit, Lego and interesting stories.

We meet at the back of the store from 5.30-6.30pm. See you then!
