The Bogan Book Club

James Larwood’s life is perfect – until a single mistake sees him lose everything. When James is released from prison, he is penniless and potentially homeless. Enter James’ tradie brother, Larry, who employs him as a cleaner and starts a factory Book Club to try and get his brother back on his feet. James expects to be lumped with a bunch of uneducated bogans and westies, but comes to realise that this group of misfits are some of the warmest, funniest and most intelligent humans he has ever met.
Can James claw back the life he once had? The Bogan Book Club – You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, so you’ll probably do both!
