Toitoi - Assembly Ballroom, 101 Hastings Street South, Hastings

Catherine Robertson interviews two high-profile New Zealand journalists as they turn the spotlight on their own lives. Alison Mau’s memoir No Words for This, “an inspiring, honest and intimate memoir”, delves into the darkness in her own family. Diana Wichtel’s book Unreal: a life in review has been described as “sharply funny, wise and profound” - another story about a family, running parallel to what we were watching on the telly.
