Rosalie Ham Look After Your Feet by National Library of Australia

Rosalie Ham, acclaimed author of The Dressmaker, discusses her debut non-fiction book Look After Your Feet at the National Library of Australia. This single-day event on 1 May 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM AEST, features Ham in conversation with journalist Sally Pryor, exploring ageing with dark humour, practical advice, and insights into life's later stages. The talk celebrates the wisdom and indignities of growing older, drawing from Ham's background as a former aged-care nurse and writer. Endorsed by authors like Nikki Gemmell and Mem Fox, it offers an entertaining evening of laughter and candour as part of the Canberra Writers Festival.
