Monica McInerney is an international, number-one Australian best-selling author of thirteen novels. With titles that include 'The Alphabet Sisters', 'Lola's Secret', 'Hello from the Gillespie's' and 'Those Faraday Girls', Monica has often claimed the number one best-seller spot in Australia and been voted one of Australia's Top Ten Authors on no less than four occasions.

Diving into one of her books is like being drawn into a warm embrace.

Her new book, 'The Godmothers', was released by Penguin back in September. It was everything I expected and more. And so I was delighted to welcome her to the podcast recently to chat about this new book, about walking compost bins, family secrets, superstitions and rituals.

A warm and funny chat you won't want to miss.
