Author Talk: Heather Morris in conversation with Claire Halliday
Sunday 30 November 2025 at 3:00PM
Parkdale
Event Description
The best-selling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka’s Journey, Three Sisters and Sisters under the Rising Sun invites you to join the conversation about her new book, The Wish.
Teenager Jesse loves her friends, her little brother and her parents – even when they’re both arguing, which they seem to do all the time these days.
And she also loves playing interactive computer games, from her hospital bed in the children’s cancer ward.
So, when Jesse is offered the chance to have her greatest wish fulfilled, she immediately knows what she wants: a digital 3D recreation of her life – something to be there for her friends and family to watch and relive … perhaps without her.
The Wish is a story of hope in the darkest of places, family, love and courage that explores the life-changing impact of friendship.
Join Heather Morris in conversation with writer and interviewer Claire Halliday.
