Snowy Monaro Regional Library is thrilled to announce an exciting author event featuring Karen Viggers, the acclaimed author of Sidelines.
This Q&A-style author talk is scheduled for 12pm to 2pm on Monday 26 February at Cooma Library, and promises to be an engaging event for literature enthusiasts and fans of contemporary Australian fiction.
Released on 3 January this year, Sidelines delves into the unexpectedly intense world of suburban junior soccer, where a controversial line-call leads to a violent brawl.
In her latest novel, Karen Viggers – renowned for her bestselling work The Orchardist's Daughter – weaves a gripping tale of rivalry, pressure, bias, and the complexities that can turn Saturday mornings into a crucible.
Sidelines has received high praise, with author Gabbie Stroud noting that it "will leave you wondering if perhaps winning and losing are the same thing."
The Cooma Library event offers attendees the chance to hear an interview between library staff and the author, as well as engage in a Q&A session. The audience will gain insights into what inspired Sidelines, along with other entries in Karen's impressive catalogue of work.
Don't miss the chance to be part of this special literary event. Join us at Cooma Library on Monday 26 February 2024 from 12pm to 2pm for an insightful conversation and a celebration of Australian contemporary fiction.
