Great Big Book Club: Gone Guru by Nadine Browne
Description
Fremantle Press is delighted to invite you to celebrate the launch of Gone Guru by Nadine Browne, as part of our 2026 Great Big Book Club series, hosted by AH Bracks Library + Creative Space.
Gone Guru follows Noni Barlow – broke, jet-lagged and alone in New York with nothing but a dream and a manuscript. When her idol Joyce Carol Oates tells her that Born Again memoirs are so ‘last year’, Noni’s big break starts to feel like a big mistake. That is until her new flatmate vanishes into thin air and Noni finds herself deep in the case of the disappearing guru – could this be the new plotline she needs to save her writing career?
Nadine will be interviewed by fellow Fremantle Press author Chenée Marrapodi.
Books will be available for purchase on the night, with the author on hand for signing.
Please RSVP to secure your spot!
