BESTSELLING author Leonie Kelsall will discuss her latest work, ‘Homestead in the Eucalypts’, at the Wangaratta Library during an upcoming visit to the region.
The South Australian writer’s novels are celebrated for their authentic portrayal of rural life, as she draws inspiration from her upbringing on the Fleurieu coast and the wheat and sheep farming lands of Pallamana.
Leonie’s works beautifully capture the essence of country living and the resilient characters who call it home. ‘Homestead in the Eucalypts’ follows student doctor Taylor Lawrence, who retreats to her grandparents’ South Australian farm after her life is upended. There, she escapes into vivid fantasies about Anna, a settler facing a devastating bushfire, and her rescuer, Luke Hartmann.
As the line between fantasy and reality blurs, Taylor must uncover the truth, risking either her sanity or her heart.
During her visit to the Wangaratta Library on Thursday, July 11 from 2.30pm, Leonie will share her unique perspective and storytelling magic.
It will be a chance to connect with fellow book lovers, delve into the worlds created by the author, and perhaps discover a new favourite read.
