Book Launch: The Ship Wife

Thursday 18 May, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

We are delighted to be hosting the launch of Anne Vines' The Ship Wife, a historical novel set in Australia in the early convict days.

The Ship Wife is based on a true story of an Irish convict woman’s survival and success. It is strongly researched and accurate to the era. It is a gripping story with feminist resonances and relevance to the issue of colonial slavery.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.

Location
State Library, Wurundjeri Country, State Library Victoria, 285-321 Russell St, Melbourne
