Please note: This is an online event.

Sam Coley joins us online to talk about his absorbing debut novel, State Highway One, which won the 2017 Richell Prize for Emerging Writers. When Alex’s parents die in a shock accident, he returns to New Zealand where his twin sister Amy awaits him. In an attempt to reconnect, the two siblings set off on a journey down State Highway One. This is the story of a homecoming, a road trip, and of what it means to be family.

Coley will discuss the novel with his publisher, Robert Watkins.
