Fiona McIntosh will be in conversation with Suzanne Leal, discussing the highly anticipated new historical adventure from the bestselling author of The Champagne War.

This new historical novel is as lush as it is tense and adventuresome. It’s the fish out of water tale as a young woman from a sleepy railway hamlet in the north of Yorkshire is drawn into intrigue and becomes responsible for protecting lives and a nation as she meets the right person at the wrong time. Set in 1930s Britain and Germany.

Fiona McIntosh is one of Australia’s prolific and favourite storytellers selling worldwide in a variety of languages across several genres but it is her historical romantic adventures that is capturing the imagination of the huge general fiction audience.  Her books are regularly shortlisted for the Best General Fiction category in the Australian Book Industry Awards.

WIN AN HERMES SILK SCARF: Thanks to Penguin Random House and Fiona McIntosh, one very lucky attendee of this online event will win a beautiful Hermes scarf. All you need to do to be in the running is register for and attend the event, and pre-order or purchase a copy of ‘The Spy’s Wife’ by Monday 15 November 2021 via our book partner Cook & Young Booksellers Geelong:  https://www.cookandyoung.com.au/p/the-spy-s-wife-68abf538-e6fd-4ad6-98ba-37c64d0913bb?barcode=9781760895006.
