AUTHOR TALK: The Accident by Katie McMahon

  • Mary Martin Bookshop Port Melbourne 188 Bay Street Port Melbourne, VIC, 3207 Australia (map)

Join us at Mary Martin Bookshop Port Melbourne for a reading and Q & A with Katie McMahon, author of 'The Accident'.

Grace, Zoe and Imogen are three women whose worlds are linked by unseen connections to friends, family and lovers. In this psychological drama, set in contemporary Hobart, they move inexorably towards an event that will change them all forever.

The Accident is an insightful exploration of the ways our formative years shape us, the resonating influence of first love and the impact of social rejection set against the healing power of friendship.

Katie McMahon hails from Hobart, Tasmania, where she works as a GP and teaches communication skills to medical students. Katie wrote her first novel after attending a masterclass run by internationally bestselling author Fiona McIntosh, who now heralds her as ‘an exciting new talent’. Her thrilling debut novel, The Mistake, was published in 2021 and became an international success, acclaimed by the likes of Liane Moriarty and Harriet Walker.

Join us at Mary Martin Bookshop Port Melbourne for a discussion with Katie and a short reading from The Accident.
