The Best Uplit Books With Julietta Henderson
Julietta Henderson has been a professional writer for over 25 years, with her debut fiction novel The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman coming out today, Jan 5th, in Australia (April in the USA and UK). Julietta’s writing makes you laugh then cry, then laugh again on the same page, making you look like a crazy person if you’re reading her book on the train.

Julietta’s favourite book recommendations include:
Anything by Nick Hornby especially A Long Way Down or How To Be Good
Other fave authors include Roddy Doyle, Marian Keyes, Tony Parsons and David Nichols
The Last Migration by Charlotte McConaghy (not Uplit)
