Acclaimed Perth author Geraldine Wooller releases fourth novel, Trio … set for Perth Writers Festival …

Geraldine Wooller’s new novel, Trio (Transit Lounge, $27.95), follows the story of four people who meet and become friends in London. Searching for work and success in the theatre, they end up sharing a flat and a deep bond of friendship. Set in Italy, London and Australia from the sixties to current times, Trio is the story of their complex personalities and relationships, of the betrayals and desires that threaten to undermine what is in hindsight most important to them. London is vibrantly alive in these pages, filled with music and drama, as is eighties and contemporary Perth, Australia, and Calabria, Italy. But at its heart this is a novel about love and friendship, loss and memory; about three unforgettable characters, and the special moments in all our lives that, through perceived hurt or fear, sometimes threaten to fall away and be lost forever.

In Geraldine Wooller’s fourth novel she captures with masterful wit and intelligence, and without a hint of sentimentality the essence of the human predicament. Geraldine will be appearing at the 2015 Perth Writer’s Festival.
