Hi Monica, actually I don't have a question. I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your article on The Guardian. I was touched by the lines: "In Dublin now, if I’m homesick for Australia, I reach for an Australian novel." I left Europe and moved to Australia (for love!) recently and, when I'm homesick, I, like you, reach for a (European) novel. Thank you. What am I going to read now? One of your novels!
Monica McInerney
Hello from Dublin, Alita_Nicole, and thanks very much for your message. I'm so glad my Guardian article struck those chords with you. There are so many wonderful things about moving to a new country, but homesickness does stowaway in our luggage sometimes, doesn't it? I hope you are settling in to Australia beautifully, and that reading brings you back home when you need it to, as it does me. And if you do get to read my novels, I hope you will enjoy those too!
Warmest wishes and thanks for getting in touch,
Monica

Hi Monica. I recently read Hello from the Gillespies and just fell in love with the entire family (particularly Ig). Like most well written books, I can't get the characters out of mind for days (even weeks) and I was wondering if you ever had any thoughts on writing a spin off from one of the Gillespie children. Perhaps Genevieve or Lindy? I now can't wait to read your other books and get caught up in the family dram
