InConversationWithSpecialEditionTheGlassHouse

South Perth Libraries and Dymocks are delighted to invite you to an evening with Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist, authors of the compelling, addictive new novel “The Glass House”.

The third novel from the husband-and-wife team, this special edition of In Conversation with an Author will discuss the experience of writing together, including all aspects of mental health that are so frankly yet sensitively explored in "The Glass House". 

About the book
Psychiatry registrar Doctor Hannah Wright, a country girl with a chaotic history, thought she had seen it all in the emergency room. But that was nothing compared to the psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital. 
 
Hannah must learn on the job in a strained medical system, as she and her fellow trainees deal with the common and the bizarre, the hilarious and the tragic, the treatable and the confronting.  
 
With intelligence, frankness and humour, eminent psychiatrist Anne Buist tells it like it is, while co-writer Graeme Simsion brings the light touch that made The Rosie Project an international bestseller and a respected contribution to the autism conversation.  

About the authors
Dr Graeme Simsion's debut novel, “The Rosie Project”, has sold over five million copies, spending 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Professor Anne Buist is the Chair of Women’s Mental Health at the University of Melbourne, with thirty years of clinical and research experience in perinatal psychiatry and is the author of several novels.

Light refreshments will be served.

Doors open at 6pm

Book sales and signing available on the night.
