Winner of the ABIA (Australian Book Industry Award) for General Fiction Book of the Year. Jacqueline will be in conversation with Hannie Rayson.

The acclaimed author of Before You Knew My Name returns with another taut suspense thriller overlaid with a moving exploration of the ways in which violent crime ricochets through the lives of those left behind.

You can run from your past, but not from the girls left behind.

Jacqueline 'Rock' Bublitz is a writer, feminist and arachnophobe, who lives between Melbourne, Australia, and her home town on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. She wrote her debut novel Before You Knew My Name after spending a summer in New York. Leave the Girls Behind is her second novel.

Book sales and author signings will be offered at this event, proudly supported by Dymocks Waurn Ponds.
