Boronggook Drysdale Library -

In the lead up to Remembrance Day, we feature local author Tania Farrelly discussing her new novel, War of Hearts, with much loved Australian author, Alli Sinclair.

Set against the backdrop of World War I and spanning three continents, War of Hearts is a heart-stopping story of forbidden love and courage that explores the nature of faith, the quest for redemption and the true meaning of grace.

Tania Farrelly is an award-winning advertising strategist who has spent over twenty-five years working in Australia’s leading advertising agencies, telling stories for the world’s biggest brands. She has turned her hand from brand stories to human stories with the help of creative writing courses and War of Hearts is her second historical fiction novel.

Tania is appearing in conversation with fellow local author, Alli Sinclair. Both Tania and Alli write historical fiction featuring strong, gutsy women and Alli’s last novel, The Code Breakers, was set in WW2.

Book sales and book signing will be available at the event.
