Jo asked Monica McInerney:

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

Monica McInerney Hello Jo and thanks very much for your lovely message. I'm delighted you read and enjoyed Hello from the Gillespies, thanks for taking the time to let me know. (I have to confess Ig was my favourite character too :) ) I don't have plans for a sequel just yet, but I also often wonder what might have become of them all, especially Lindy, so it may well happen in the future. I hope you will enjoy my other books too (my new one, The Trip of a Lifetime, will be published in Australia & NZ in July, in Ireland in August and in the UK in 2018.)
All very best wishes for now and thanks again,
Monica

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!

Trish asked Monica McInerney:

No question. I just wanted to say that I love your books. I discovered you through Hello from the Gillespies. I did not want the book to end. I think about the characters often and wonder what they are doing right now. The same is true for The House of Memories. I'm on the hunt for your other books. Please keep writing! Please?
