Join us at Leopold Library and hear Hayley Scrivenor talk about her new book Girl Falling - hot off the presses.

Australians love a crime novel… we love it even more if it is set in a rural landscape and told from a nostalgic point of view. Hayley Scrivenor’s Dirt Town was just such a read but with the authors own layer of insight, imagination, and master storytelling skills.

In her brand-new second novel, Girl Falling, Scrivenor forces us to confront the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love. Hayley Scrivenor's razor-sharp skills for character, landscape, and narrative, are on display again in this breath taking read.

Join us at the Leopold Library to hear Scrivenor talk about her work
