About this listen

November’s @readingby.candlelight General Fiction Book Box featured the wonderful Kimberley Allsopp and her second novel, Rise and Shine.

In our cosy half-hour chat, Kimberley and our host Fiona talk about:
✨ Why she started the book at the end of a marriage
✨ How a rejection of her first novel led her to write Rise and Shine at lightning speed to meet her deadline
✨ Whether her background in publishing influenced her process
✨ And what it’s really like being Trent Dalton’s publicist (yes — it’s as wonderful as you’d imagine!)

Rise and Shine is a sharp, funny, and heartfelt exploration of relationships, dreams, and rediscovery. It’s a story about a marriage at a crossroads — perfect for readers who love flawed protagonists, messy love stories, and books that make you laugh, cry, and reflect in equal measure. Don't miss reading this book - you will adore August and Noah.

'Reading by Candlelight' is a book subscription that celebrates up-and-coming Australian authors, delicious beverages, and incredible creations. Each month features a different novel paired with a handmade scented candle, a seed paper bookmark, a beverage (choice of alcoholic/nonalcoholic), a surprise, and an invitation to join the RBC Facebook Community.
