Nigel Marsh in Conversation at Muswellbrook Library
Join Author Nigel Marsh in conversation at the Muswellbrook Library as he shares his latest book ‘Smart, Stupid and Sixty’, in which he ponders ageing well, parenting adult children, his parents’ passing, and the secret to his living a happy life. By turns humorous, thought-provoking, poignant and life-affirming, Smart, Stupid and Sixty is a celebration of the third trimester as a privilege to be enjoyed rather than a sentence to be endured.
Muswellbrook Library on February 10 from 11am.
Light lunch included. Bookings essential – to register your place, contact Muswellbrook Library on 6543-1913.
