COMP CLOSED: ‘Whenever You’re Ready’ by Trish Bolton

This week, we’re giving away three copies of Whenever You're Ready by Trish Bolton. Whenever You're Ready unfolds as a sweetly wise and gently wistful novel, revealing the secrets and seasons of three interconnected lives. Serving as a heartfelt tribute to the experiences of older women, the story is a moving and perceptive exploration of these women's quest for a new path in the aftermath of a sudden loss. Here’s the blurb:

An unexpected death finds Lizzie, Alice and Margot at various crossroads in their lives, torn between looking back and moving on.

Lizzie is reeling from her discovery of a decades-old secret that changes everything she thought she knew about her friends, her family and her marriage. Alice has always been the good-time girl, as charismatic presenting the weather on television as she is working as a life model. But decades of piecemeal gigs have left her with a rapidly unravelling safety net. Meanwhile, Lizzie's perfectionist daughter Margot is realising that, despite having built herself a faultlessly curated life, she hasn't put her troubled past behind her as neatly as she thought she had.

Entries close midday (Syd/Melb time) Monday 5 February 2024. Winners will be notified within a week of the competition closing.
