Talking Aussie Books with Fiona McKenzie Kekic

About this episode

Fiona McKenzie Kekic discusses her debut novel ‘Eva Reddy’s Trip of a Lifetime’ and its themes of personal growth and adventure.

Fiona McKenzie Kekic's debut novel ‘Eva Reddy’s Trip of a Lifetime’ was published by HQ Fiction earlier this year and what a cracker novel it is! A tale about one middle-aged woman’s quest to get back to the person she knew she could be. A literal and figurative journey set between Sydney and India that had me laughing out loud. Funny, insightful and heartwarming, this is a book you'll want to rip through at breakneck speed, but which should be savoured and appreciated like a wonder tour. A terrific debut from a truly talented story teller.
