Book Launch: Start at the End by Emma Grey in conversation with Barbie Robinson

Join us at East Hotel as we celebrate the launch of Emma Grey's new novel Start at the End. This powerful, emotional, sliding-doors novel from the bestselling author of The Last Love Note and Pictures of You is about love, loss, grief and hope, and asks if it is ever too late to start again. Emma will be joined in conversation by founder and principal of Living Arts Canberra, Barbie Robinson.
Tickets are $17 per person and you can pre-order the book for the launch special price of $30.

ABOUT THE BOOK
When Audrey and Fraser tumble into a love story for the ages, theirs is an epic, unbreakable bond – until one tragic moment up-ends everything.
Facing the unimaginable, wrestling with guilt, they're left haunted by 'what-ifs'.
Would their lives still have imploded if they'd done one little thing differently? Where would they be if events had unfolded the other way around?
Start at the End offers hope for those who think they'll never love again.

PRAISE FOR START AT THE END
'Emma Grey is an expert at pulling at the heartstrings. A compelling and emotionally rich story that celebrates love in all its wonderful and complicated forms. Start at the End is a warm, emotionally layered novel with characters you can't help but invest in.' Rachael Johns, author of The Lucky Sisters
'Equal parts tender, hilarious, and achingly perceptive, Start at the End broke my heart, and then swiftly put it back together again. I laughed, I ugly-cried, I absolutely loved it!' Pip Drysdale, author of The Close-Up
