Last minute and a rare opportunity: Geraldine Brooks was at Bookoccino last Friday to sign copies of Memorial Days, “a heart-rending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and journey toward peace.”

Geraldine and I have been friends for 30 years; and she has been a big supporter of Bookoccino since Sally and I and bought it seven years ago. She lives around the corner now, and agreed to come to Bookoccino before she heads to the US on a promotional tour.

Geraldine is, of course, the Pulitzer-prize winner author of March, and the best-selling Horse.

Below is a link to an excerpt from Memorial Days that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Warmest regards,

Ray
