Join us at the Bendooley Estate as we spend the evening with Kate Grenville and her latest novel investigating a cold case in 1800s Australia. Rummaging around in the Archives one afternoon, Grenville unearths 88 letters tracing the mysterious life of a schoolteacher in country New South Wales. What first appears simple soon reveals itself to be a tale far more curious and complex. Was Joseph Connor savagely beating the students in his care? Or was he the victim of a small-town vendetta? And what went so terribly wrong between him and his daughter?
From one of Australia's most celebrated writers comes a part locked-room mystery, part colonial cold case that will have you realising that The Country Schoolmaster is a book like no other.
Wednesday, 28 October in the Book Barn from 6pm until 8pm, with canapés and a drink served upon arrival.
