SUMMARY:Hannah Goldstein - Dream Girls
LOCATION:Upstairs at Gleebooks
DESCRIPTION:6pm for 6.30pm Thursday 5th November\n\nHannah Goldstein in con
 versation with Madeleine Gray\n\nHelena and Ruthie have been best friends 
 since high school\, where they bonded over Wuthering Heights\, Baz Luhrman
 n's Romeo + Juliet and photographs of Joseph Stalin when he was young and 
 hot. They dreamed of getting a place of their own in the city and living a
  life of great passion\, art and romance.\n \nBut as they drift into their
  late twenties\, they are forced to contend with the idea that growing up 
 might mean growing apart. Helena works at an elite boys' private school --
  a misogynistic hellhole rife with sexual harassment and paintings of ship
 s. Every day she pines for an ex-boyfriend who left her with nothing but a
  print of an artwork of Ophelia drowning. Meanwhile\, Ruthie is pouring he
 r marital despair into three-tiered funfetti cakes and seeking refuge from
  her family in solo Friday night trips to Woolworths.\n \nWhen an old scho
 ol friend invites Helena and Ruthie to a glamorous forest wedding\, they j
 ump at the chance to reconnect. But finding their way back to each other\,
  past unrealised dreams and younger selves\, isn't as easy as they thought
 . Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream\, Dream Girls is a n
 ovel about love and friendship in absurd times.\n \n\nHannah Goldstein is 
 a writer and teacher from Sydney. Her fiction has appeared in The Big Issu
 e and the UTS Writers' Anthology and been shortlisted for the Richell Priz
 e. Dream Girls is her debut novel.\n \nMadeleine Gray is a writer and crit
 ic from Sydney. Her first novel\, Green Dot\, was an acclaimed bestseller 
 in Australia and the UK. In 2024\, Madeleine won the ABIA for Matt Richell
  New Writer of the Year Award and the 2025 Russell Prize for Humour Writin
 g. Her second novel\, Chosen Family was published in 2025.\n\nBoletos: htt
