Meet the Authors Event Thank you

The bitter cold and torrential rain didn't keep people from coming to the Meet the Authors event at The Feminist Bookshop on June 20. We all enjoyed terrific conversation with Tracie O'Keefe and Katrina Fox, and we thank them for their humour and generous sharing of their lives and work. Thank you to everyone who came and a special thanks to photographer extraordinaire Josephine JOey Ki, whose pics of the day you can see on the samesame website http://www.samesame.com.au/gallery/13030/Meet-the-Authors.htm

Latest Release "The Lost Mother" by Anne Summers

After her mother’s death in 2005, Anne Summers inherits a portrait of her mother as a child. Mesmerised by this image, she finds herself drawn into the story of how the portrait was painted and eventually found its way into her family. She soon learns the artist painted another portrait of her mother; this time, as the Madonna.

In a gripping narrative that is part art history, part detective story and part meditation on the relations between mothers and daughters, Anne’s search for the Madonna painting and the mysterious Russian émigré who bought both paintings takes her down unexpected paths. Her search soon turns into a parallel quest to retrieve Constance Stokes, the artist, from obscurity, and to learn why the collector suddenly abandoned the paintings. Along the way Anne finds she must face the truth of the relationship she had with her mother. In turn hypnotic and moving, The Lost Mother is a powerful exploration of art, loss and love.

In store on Tuesday 30 June!

Anne Summers is a best selling Australian author, journalist and speaker on political and social, especially women's, issues. Anne led the Office of the Status of Women from 1983-86 and was advisor to Prime Ministers Paul Keating and Bob Hawke. She is a former editor of Good Weekend, and is a Sydney Morning Herald columnist.
