Writers Live - Patti Miller on Ransacking Paris
2nd Jul '15 @ Berkelouw Paddington


Default_patti_miller_preferred

You are invited to meet Patti Miller when she takes us on a writer's journey with her new book Ransacking Paris.

Once her children had flown the nest writer Patti Miller decided to fulfil a life-long dream of living in France for a year.

Having grown up in the hot bush scrub of the Wiradjuri country, she was introduced to an imagined better life through her basic French lessons. Years later, she steps into the looking glass with Montaigne, Rousseau and De Beauvoir as her companions. Patti has conversations with dead philosophers in Parisian cafes, joins a choir, studies the symbolism of bees, works on a book and examines a life in transition.

Ransacking Paris is a book to nourish the soul, filled with epiphany, lyrical prose and candid insight. It speaks of our humanity, our interconnectedness, our desires, our frailties and our implicit differences.

Join us when Patti Miller introduces Ransacking Paris at 6.30pm on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2015 at Berkelouw Books.

Cost is $ 10.00, $ 5.00 of which will be credited against any purchases on the evening.
