Launch

Join us to celebrate the launch of The Lyrebird Brooch by Christine Taylor

Tuesday 1 July, 6.00pm
Readings Hawthorn

Join us to celebrate the launch of Christine Taylor's Australian historical romance The Lyrebird Brooch.

Mathilda wants to escape the stifling paternal structure of hard work and obedience that controls her family life in a Lutheran fruit-growing community near Melbourne in the late 1880s. While jeweller Wilhelm Lund provides an avenue to a new life in marriage, good fortune remains out of reach for the young couple. The well-off folk of Beechworth hesitate to patronize his shop.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
