Join Glenelg Libraries as we welcome popular historical fiction author Darry Fraser to discuss her latest historical adventure novel The Night on the Darling River at the Casterton Library.Amid the rising flood waters of the Murray River and shearers’ strike violence, can one brave woman reclaim her future? Tess Hawthorn is a woman on the run from her abusive husband. All she has to do is get on the riverboat Victor and she will be free. But with tensions at an all-time high between unionist shearers and Scabs, Tess isn't the only person trying to board a boat under the cover of night.
Darry Fraser fell in love with the great Murray River when her family moved to her childhood town of Swan Hill. Stories of the river have been with her ever since and it's where a number of her novels are set. She now lives on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, very close to the mighty Murray.
Darry’s stories are full of ordinary people in nineteenth century Australia who are drawn into difficult circumstances - adventure, mystery and mayhem, love and life, all against the backdrop of historical events.
