Event description

Come and Raise money for the Black Sheep animal sanctuary whilst enjoying this bittersweet memoir of a melancholic woman called Grace Pudel- a hoarder of snails, romance novels and guinea-pigs.


In 1970s Australia, Grace's life is troubled by misfortune and loss.
After their mother dies during pregnancy, she and her twin brother,
Gilbert, are raised by their paraplegic-alcoholic former juggler father,
Percy. Despite a life filled with love, tragedy strikes anew when Percy
passes away in his sleep. The siblings are forcibly separated and
thrust into separate homes. Gilbert finds himself in the care of a cruel
evangelical family, while Grace, grappling with intense loneliness,
gradually withdraws into her shell, much like the snails she adopts. As
the years pass, and despite new disappointments and sorrows, a glimmer
of hope emerges when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an
elderly eccentric woman called Pinky
