Join Sarah Clutton in-conversation with bookseller, Andy Durkin at Launceston Library as we launch, The Bookshop of Buried Pasts.
Secrets, humour, love and mystery abound in this uplifting novel. The Bookshop of Buried Pasts is an exhilarating tale of an abandoned boy and the woman who refused to forget him.
Phyllida Banks is adored in the tiny village of Brookbank, nestled in the Southern Highlands outside Sydney. Admired for her curiosity and wisdom, her antiquarian bookshop is the hub of the community.
So, when Phyllida is suddenly gone, leaving her granddaughter, Lottie, a letter requesting she 'Find Francis', friends and neighbours rally as Lottie grapples with her grandmother's inexplicable actions and her enigmatic past.
All are welcome. Free ticket provides general admission to the talk.
Book sales available at the event by Petrarch's Bookshop.
