Kathy Lette in Conversation with Nell Schofield: The Sisterhood Rules

Kathy Lette: In Conversation with Nell Schofield

Get ready for a gloriously fun evening with queen of wit and fearless feminist Kathy Lette. Lette has been entertaining us with her laugh-til-it hurts honesty for more than 40 years, from the iconic Puberty Blues to the wildly funny bestsellers Mad Cows and Nip ’n’ Tuck.

‍

Full of laugh-out-loud humour and devastating pathos, Kathy Lette's brilliant new novel The Sisterhood Rules takes us on a roller-coaster ride which proves that from pain comes healing, from honesty comes forgiveness, and that nothing is more important than your sisters.

‍

Don’t miss the chance to witness the wonderful Kathy Lette in full flight.

‍

The Sisterhood Rules:‍‍

1. Never let a man come between you
‍2. Share all your secrets
3. Live life to the fullest – girls just wanna have fun

"Deliciously rude and darkly funny" – Nicole Kidman

"Unputdownable" – Stephen Fry
