Author Talk: Anne Buist & Graeme Simsion - Mornington Library

Next date: Saturday, 22 March 2025 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

In Conversation with Anne Buist & Graeme Simsion.

Join writer and interviewer Claire Halliday as she chats with two bestselling authors in one special live event.

Co-authors Graeme Simsion (The Rosie Project...and more) and Anne Buist (The Long Shadow...and more) are successful authors individually and, together, they combine their unique talents in a new book, The Oasis.

It's their fourth novel collaboration and the second instalment in the groundbreaking Menzies Mental Health series (following on from The Glasshouse).

Trainee psychiatrist Doctor Hannah Wright has only just got her head above water in the acute psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital when she’s thrown into the deep end of the outpatient clinic. Keen to develop her skills in talking therapies, she finds herself up against a boss who’s focused on medication and a senior colleague with a score to settle.While Hannah comes under pressure to seek therapy herself to confront a traumatic past, her patients’ health issues range from OCD to ice addiction, childhood abuse to the mental impact of ageing, and from bad parenting to bad genes. They all come to the Oasis.

Be part of what is set to be filled with interesting insights about storytelling, mental health and working together as a creative couple.
