Author Talk: Anthea Hodgson - Mornington Library

Set in goldrush-era Kalgoorlie between 1898 and 1926, the novel tells the story of an unexpected friendship between Marigold, a devout Christian working to reform sex workers, and Pansy Arlington, a brothel owner living within the town’s controversial containment system. When their lives intersect, they become entwined in a shocking M**der trial inspired by real historical events.

Drawing on Western Australia’s dark and little-known past, The Palace of Lost Virtue explores female friendship, resilience and the blurred lines between morality, justice and truth. Blending real history with rich storytelling, Anthea Hodgson gives voice to the women who lived and worked on the margins of society.

Anthea Hodgson is the bestselling author of The War Nurses and lives in Western Australia. She is also co-host of the Rachael Johns Book Club and the podcast Reading Between Deadlines.
