Author Event - Fiona Lowe, The Accident - Portland Library

Join Glenelg Libraries for our first author event of 2024 when we welcome back popular Australian author Fiona Lowe with her newest novel The Accident, a gripping and thought-provoking new mystery from the master of the moral dilemma.

Freya thought she could relax when Ryan's best mate Jamie got engaged to her best friend Hannah. Two couples, four friends - what could be better than that? But a day before the wedding Freya's torn between keeping the peace or blowing it up. Hannah's perfect wedding is hours away and she's daydreaming of a honeymoon in Tahiti and starting the family she longs for when she hears the first-responder sirens. Is it a grass fire? Worse? And why aren't Ryan or Jamie answering their phones?

When a car veers off the road with devastating consequences, the small wheatbelt town of Garringarup is left reeling. As disturbing details surrounding the accident emerge and questions pile up, ugly secrets rise to the surface.

Fiona Lowe has been a midwife, a sexual health counsellor and a family support worker; an ideal career for an author who writes novels about family and relationships. She spent her early years in Papua New Guinea where reading set up a lifelong love of books. Fiona writes books that are authentic to Australians: they feature real people facing difficult choices and explore how family ties and relationships impact on their decisions.
