It gives me great pleasure to announce that Leah Kaminsky will be my guest at Thursday Book Club on 3 September 2020. Leah will be talking to us about her work as a writer and a doctor and how she manages to juggle these two roles - especially in the middle of a pandemic.

The Deceptions, Sydney lawyer Suzanne Leal’s stunning third novel, also has trauma at its heart, although it is trauma with very different origins. Inspired by true events, this story reaches back more than 70 years and explores the manifold ways families can be affected by events of the past, and the lengths a person will go to in order to survive.
