Heather Morris: The Wish
Join us for this one-off special Pre-Festival event with the international no.1 bestselling author Heather Morris.
The Wish is her brand-new novel and is a fresh direction for Heather but speaks to all the themes that readers know and love her for: hope in the darkest of places, family, love and courage.
Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Lale's story formed the basis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz and the follow-up novel, Cilka's Journey.
In 2021 she published the phenomenal conclusion to the Tattooist trilogy, Three Sisters, after being asked to tell the story of three Holocaust survivors who knew Lale from their time in Auschwitz-Birkenau. This was followed by Sisters Under the Rising Sun, a heart-wrenching novel based upon the experiences of women in Japanese POW camps. The Wish is Heather's first contemporary novel.
