Ben’s Book Club featuring 'The Things That Matter Most' by Gabbie Stroud

Join Ben Hobson in conversation with author Gabbie Stroud to discuss her moving debut novel ‘The Things That Matter Most’.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Gabbie Stroud is a freelance writer and novelist. In 2016, her critical commentary of Australia's education system was published in Griffith Review's Edition 51 Fixing the System, which went on to be shortlisted for a Walkley Award. Gabbie's smash-hit memoir Teacher was shortlisted for Biography Book of the Year at the 2018 ABIA Awards and continues to contribute to the national dialogue on education.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The staff of St Margaret's Primary School are hanging by a thread. There's serious litigation pending, the school is due for registration, and a powerful parent named Janet Bellevue has a lot to say about everything. As teachers they're trying to remain professional, as people they're unravelling fast. As secrets threaten to be exposed and working demands increase, each staff member struggles to recall the things that matter most.

'The Things That Matter Most' is available to borrow or download from Melton City Libraries. Visit our catalogue to place a hold.

Ben's Book club meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
