About the playback:

After the success of her Women’s Prize for Fiction–shortlisted novel Sorrow and Bliss, Meg Mason wanted to write something completely different: a cheerful character. Described by Bonnie Garmus and Ann Patchett as smart, heartbreaking and hilarious, Sophie, Standing There is a hopeful story of a woman entwined in the literary industry and besotted with one particularly brilliant, beautiful and wise author’s work.

Join Meg as she launches her latest novel in conversation with the fashion editor of The Australian Financial Review Lauren Sams.

Don’t miss this chance to enjoy some of Australia’s best conversations, stories and ideas without leaving town.
