Author and Festival Patron Cathy Rentzenbrink will be in conversation with celebrated and outspoken comedic writer and performer Kathy Lette about her twentieth novel, The Revenge Club. This book delivers another subversive irreverent romp from the international bestselling author and broadcast journalist, whose first book Puberty Blues was published when she was just 17.

 

Best friends Matilda, Penny, Cressida and Jo are approaching their sixties with flair until, one by one, their bubbles are burst. Matilda, a bestselling novelist, is dropped by her publisher; Penny is cut from her prime-time TV show in favour of her male co-host; Cressida's acting agent can only offer her female incontinence adverts and Jo... well Jo realised it's still a man's world a while ago. Confronted by a society that believes they're all past their amuse-by dates, the friends vow to face their non-entity crises together. Each has been trampled on by men, so it's time for a little revenge. Let the games begin!
