See Booker Prize-nominated Irish author Niall Williams at his only Melbourne event.
Author of This is Happiness and Four Letters of Love – soon to be a feature film starring Pierce Brosnan – Niall has captivated readers around the world with his cinematic writing and quirky characters.
His most recent book is A Time of the Child: a heartbreaking and life-affirming novel about small towns and second chances.
It’s Christmas 1962 in the Irish town of Faha when Doctor Jack Troy and his daughter Ronnie’s lives are turned upside. An abandoned baby has been left in their care. As the winter passes, their lives are changed forever.
Hear from Niall about the inspiration behind his latest novel, and ask him any of your questions in an audience Q&A.
This event will be livestreamed and Auslan interpreted.
Doors will open from 7pm. Drinks will be available to purchase on the night.
Copies of Niall’s books will be able to purchase from Readings at the event.
Don’t miss out on this fascinating conversation.
