A Day in Carlton: A love-in with Monica McInerney
About
Join us at Readings' A Day in Carlton, 24 hours celebrating books, culture and communityReadings’ own Christine Gordon is looking forward to chatting with the prolific and wonderful Monica McInerney as they discuss writing, love and 'When Sullivan Met Lola'.
In McInerney’s highly anticipated new novel, 'When Sullivan Met Lola', Lola Quinlan is eighty-six. If her time on earth is running out, she’s not leaving quietly. Against the wishes of her family in South Australia, she’s flying solo to Melbourne for a week. They think she’s in search of distraction and entertainment. The truth is, she’s chasing an elusive dream.
Sullivan Farrington is 12 years old. His life in Melbourne has turned upside down. But Sullivan is no ordinary boy. He’s set himself a series of goals to turn his life around.
In a hotel beside the Botanic Gardens, Lola and Sullivan meet. When Lola’s fierce passion for people and stories teams up with Sullivan’s curiosity and brilliance, they discover that a friendship can bloom – magically – just when it is needed most. What they don’t know yet is the wonder that’s about to unfold – or the emotional reckoning that will follow.
