Apollo Bay WORDfest is a celebration of words: written, spoken, debated, performed, sung.

Join author Lia Hills for a special free book club discussion of her book, The Desert Knows Her Name, an exquisite novel that speaks to a deep longing for connection with the land, and the silences that persist in contemporary Australia.

If you aren't a member of a book club, don't worry! The session is open to all. Local books clubs are invited to reserve a book club kit (12 copies) at the Apollo Bay Library.

Discussion hosted by local librarian Nick Luxton.  This is a free event, however but bookings are required.

This Apollo Bay Wordfest event is supported by Geelong Regional Libraries.
