Having raised four children and nursed her dying mum, she was not anticipating making a new start alone or from scratch. And while some of her new neighbours are welcoming, she soon finds herself getting far more attention than she bargained for.When Tina finds work caring for a wealthy elderly woman, it is a welcome break from an ageist, sexist job market. But Mrs Bell is anything but predictable. Highly educated, acerbic and intimidating, she is not the straightforward charge that Tina had hoped for. As the two women form an unlikely friendship, they soon discover that financial security is about more than having money.The book and conversation with Sally Piper, facilitated by Avid Reader's Bookclubs Host, Jennifer Stephens, a glass of wine, and tastes of King Street are all included in your book club ticket.This month we'll meet in The Library at Rydges and enjoy delicious food from bar gusto over our discussion of People Like Us.Current Book Club members will collect their book at our August meeting at 3Bros Korean King St and new members will be able to elect to collect their book from Avid Reader in West End or to add postage of their book to their order.For further information see www.kingstreetbrisbane.com/kingstbookclub or email bookclubs@avidreader.com.au with enquiries. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bowen-hills/king-st-book-club-september-author-event-book-conversation-wine-and-eats/100001991453952380 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Rydges Fortitude Valley - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 60, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bowen Hills - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Rydges Fortitude Valley - **lat**: -27.4521292 - **long**: 153.033435 - **full address**: Rydges Fortitude Valley, 601 Gregory Tce, Bowen Hills, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: King St Book Club September Author Event Book + Conversation + Wine & Eats - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/a1657da286571ba2127e7238351bc8041a7b34a574254cb8757a0dbbe428cf24-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd5a7ef-gmir.jpg?v=1781668214 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is King St Book Club September Author Event Book + Conversation + Wine & Eats being held? - **A:** King St Book Club September Author Event Book + Conversation + Wine & Eats takes place on Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 08 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Rydges Fortitude Valley, 601 Gregory Tce, Bowen Hills, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing King St Book Club September Author Event Book + Conversation + Wine & Eats? - **A:** King St Book Club September Author Event Book + Conversation + Wine & Eats is organized by King Street Brisbane. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
