Andrea Goldsmith’s latest novel, Invented Lives, centres on book illustrator Galina Kogan, who leaves Leningrad – forbidden ever to return – to start a new life in Melbourne. It’s a love story that tells a tale of exile: exile from country, exile at home, and exile from one’s true self. Come along to hear Goldsmith in conversation about this wonderful new book with Readings’ own Mark Rubbo.

This event is free, but please book here.
