In Love with Tasmania: Heather Rose in conversation

Heather Rose is in love with love, Tasmania and fascinating female protagonists. She reaches new heights of passion and mastery of her craft with her new book A Great Act of Love.

Heather will take us back in history to Van Diemen’s Land, whisk us across the globe to the champagne vineyards of France and speak from the heart about writing through thick and thin. The award-winning and best-selling author of Museum of Modern Love, Bruny and Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here will join celebrated Canberra author Karen Viggers, in a candid, compelling and warm conversation.
