I Love the Whole World!

Leslie McDonald is adrift. Her husband (a physiotherapist) has left her for someone with better posture, and her life seems to be a series of events that she has no control over. Until a chance win sends her to the glittering, desert-set wildness of Las Vegas. What begins as an unlikely escape becomes something far more profound: a rediscovery of wonder, of friendship, and a reclamation of what’s hers. Hilarious, joyous, and beautifully observed, Melbourne writer Victoria Hannan’s third novel is a warm-hearted celebration of beginning again – proof that it is never too late to fall back in love with the world.
