Bestselling Author to visit Wangaratta Library

Published on 25 June 2024

The Wangaratta Library is thrilled to announce an upcoming event with bestselling author Leonie Kelsall. Known for her richly detailed and emotionally resonant stories, Kelsall will be discussing her latest work, Homestead in the Eucalypts.

Leonie Kelsall's novels are celebrated for their authentic portrayal of rural life, drawing inspiration from her upbringing on South Australia’s Fleurieu coast and the wheat and sheep farming lands of Pallamana. Her works beautifully capture the essence of country living and the resilient characters who call it home.

Homestead in the Eucalypts follows student doctor Taylor Lawrence, who retreats to her grandparents’ South Australian farm after her life is upended.  There, she escapes into vivid fantasies about Anna, a settler facing a devastating bushfire, and her rescuer, Luke Hartmann.  As the line between fantasy and reality blurs, Taylor must uncover the truth, risking either her sanity or her heart.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Leonie Kelsall share her unique perspective and storytelling magic. Connect with fellow book lovers, delve into the worlds created by this wonderful author, and perhaps discover a new favourite read.
