An inviting, comical and life affirming tale, this is one summer blockbuster read you will not want to miss! South Australian writer Rose Hartley’s debut novel Maggie’s Going Nowhere, is an on point novel, capturing the life and times of her underdog lead, Maggie Cotton. For someone who’s spent her life avoiding hard work, she sure can move mountains when she’s got a little motivation – just don’t ask her to move the caravan. With a decrepit 1960s caravan to call home, Maggie has to prove to her mother she can survive without a safety net, stop her loyal best friend Jen from marrying a scumbag, and convince her sexy workmate Rueben that she’s not a walking disaster. And that was before she received the letter saying she owed the government $70,000. In one day, she’s dumped by her boyfriend, disinherited by her mum, and kicked out of the three-year degree she’d stretched to a decade. ![]()
