Literary Morning Tea with Debra Oswald

Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, in Debra Oswald’s new novel One Hundred Years of Betty, Betty tells us her story.

Born into poverty in pre-war London and growing up fast during the Blitz, Betty grabs the chance at a bigger life by migrating to Australia. From waitressing at the famous Trocadero dance hall to life as a suburban housewife and joining protest movements that shaped who we are now, Betty becomes an ordinary extraordinary woman. In her nineties, she is still passionately engaged and still surprising.

Debra Oswald is the bestselling author of The Family Doctor and the creator of Offspring. She is a playwright, screenwriter, novelist and NSW Premier’s Literary Award winner.
