This Friday: The Australian author who will ignite your book club

At 8pm (AEST) this Friday 9 March we are joined by Kelly Rimmer, who will be revealing the inspiration behind, and the process of writing, her new psychological drama Before I Let You Go.

About the book 

Whatever decision Lexie makes in Before I Let You Go, Kelly Rimmer’s heartrending story about two sisters with an unbreakable bond, it has grave implications. In a plot that poses some nitty gritty questions sure to provoke fiery exchanges in book clubs, the internationally bestselling Australian author has delivered a cracking good read written with wisdom and compassion about our closest relationships.
