In conversation with Tricia Stringer

Description

Join us for the book launch of Australian author's Tricia Stringer's new novel The Road Trip. 

Tricia will discuss her new book which tells the story of a family holiday gone wrong!

Two caravans, four adults and a journey through Australia's heart - the trip of a lifetime, right? Wrong. A wise take on the joys of travel with those you might dislike the most but love the best. 

Sharyn Tregonning wanted a holiday somewhere glamorous for her 60th birthday. So when her husband Barry surprises her with a caravan trip from Adelaide to Broome, she is furious - and bitterly disappointed. Even worse, Barry's annoying friend Ray, and Ray's reclusive frumpy sister Kathleen are coming along.
