17.01.2022 AUTHOR EVENT Averil Kenny at the Busselton Library Wednesday 31st March, 6pm - 7.30pm FREE event with drinks and nibbles on arrival. ... Copies of Those Hamilton Sisters available to buy thanks to Dymocks Busselton RSVP here: https://bit.ly/3twGwp5 Debut novelist Averil Kenny, author of soon-to-be released book Those Hamilton Sisters, will engage audiences in an exclusive livestream event at the Busselton Library, to promote the release of her new book. About the book; Beautiful, irrepressible Esther Hamilton had a reputation in the small Queensland town of Noah Vale. That was until she ran away, twenty years ago, under a cloud of shame. It's now 1955 and following their mother's death, the Hamilton sisters - Sonnet, Fable and little Novella Plum - have returned to Noah Vale to live near their aunt and uncle. Sonnet, twenty years old and legal guardian to her siblings, has never stepped foot in Noah Vale, yet has been the talk of the town for decades. Fable, at twelve-years-old, is a talented artist and lovelier than even her heart-breaking mother had been. And three year old Plum is just a little girl who's lost her mother and been taken away from the only home she's ever known.
