Petrarch's Bookshop is excited to be hosting Niall Williams in conversation with Maggie MacKellar.
In this special event, Niall shares stories from his esteemed writing life and insights into his heartfelt storytelling.
Niall began as non-fiction writer, co-authoring four books with his artist wife Christine Breen about their idyllic life in Ireland. Now he’s internationally renowned for his novels, including Four Letters of Love, History of Rain and, his latest, Time of the Child, many of which are set in the fictional village of Faha, inspired by the villages of his home County Clare.
This is a ticketed event at TRAMSHEDS FUNCTION CENTRE (4 Invermay Road, Invermay TAS).
Tickets are for general admission and include a glass upon entry.
Petrarch's Bookshop will be onsite to sell Niall's books.
