Join Petrarch's Bookshop & the Tamar Valley Writers Festival at St Lukes as we launch A Catalogue of Love; A young woman surfer’s coming of age in Tasmania, where the natural world helps her find herself and navigate grief and trauma.
‘Did I still love him? No, probably not. Just the memory of him. Except it wasn’t even that. It was probably that I was in love with the memory of the me who’d loved him before.’
Neika learned to surf in the sometimes crystal-clear, sometimes opaque green barrels of Cloudy Bay, under the guidance of her father and stepfather. Bruny Island, surfing and the natural world are as much a part of her as her blood and breath.
Neika watches the world around her, seeking to understand what it means to be a woman. In navigating her catalogue of experiences – desire, loss, love and power – she comes to see how each has made her who she is.
Book sales available at the event.
Ticket includes a drink on arrival.
