Chloe Higgins in conversation with Lee Kofman

Readings Hawthorn, Woiwurrung Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122

In 2005, Chloe Higgins was seventeen years old. She and her mother stayed home so she could study for her HSC while her two younger sisters, Carlie and Lisa, went out with their father. On the way home, their car veered off the road and both her sisters were killed. The Girls is the story of what happened next, and a memoir of family, grief and sexuality. Come along to hear Higgins in conversation about her debut book with Lee Kofman.
