Melissa Manning In Conversation: Glen Eira Libraries

Join us in conversation with award-winning author Melissa Manning as we delve into her new release Frogsong; a lyrical and devastating story of love, addiction and the ghosts that bind us.

Frogsong tells the story of Caro and Danny who grew up side by side at the waterhole. Bound by love, loss, and a promise Caro made to Danny’s mother, their lives become entwined. But as Danny spirals into addiction and self-destruction, Caro is caught between loyalty and the need to save herself.

Melissa Manning is an Australian writer and author. Her debut Smokehouse won the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Fiction in 2022. She will be joined in conversation with book reviewer for Triple R Breakfasters, Fiona Wright.
