Book Launch: No One's Looking by Brooke Davis in conversation with Kaya Wilson

Join us at The Book Cow as we welcome internationally bestselling author Brooke Davis to celebrate the launch of her new novel, No One's Looking. Known for her distinctive voice, humour and heartfelt storytelling, Brooke will be joined in conversation by fellow writer Kaya Wilson for what promises to be a wonderful evening.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When Susan first meets Vicki, her new baby sister, she puts a hand on her tiny forearm, and Vicki stops screaming. Just like that.

If only it were so easy forty-five years later.

Susan has always been the quiet, nice sister, but her husband's sudden demand for an open marriage - and a rather large purple object she'd forgotten about - provokes a slow-dawning epiphany: being the 'good' girl doesn't always mean it's good for you.

Just down the road, Vicki listens at the door of her seventeen-year-old daughter's room - her only child - and is shocked at what she hears. Her old urge to scream builds. As she listens to a true crime podcast and doom scrolls the news headlines, she can feel a terror building in her bones. She can't help believing something very bad is going to happen.

It's January in suburban Australia - stinking hot, the sound of tennis and cricket on telly, the threat of bushfires in the air. Vicki is right, something is unravelling. Rage, desire, fear, wonder (and the occasional nipple) are unleashed. In the aftermath, will Susan and Vicki ever find out what's possible when no one's looking?
