About this Event
PLEASE NOTE - THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT HISTORIC AUCHENDARROCH HOUSE MOUNT BARKER
The heart-stopping new historical adventure from the bestselling author of The Sugar Palace.
Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home, she is forced to live an impoverished, secretive life to save the family from public shame.
Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend, the soon-to-be coronated George V.
When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide, Jane begins to hope for a different future, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy, misunderstanding, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast.
Set in the picturesque English countryside, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength.
Join us for what will be another entertaining talk as well loved author Fiona McIntosh returns to share the background to her new novel, as well as any adventures or mishaps that may have befallen her since her last visit.
Morning tea included. (We will provide a gluten free and a vegan option, however we are unable to cater for other more specific dietary requirements but invite you to bring your own snack).
Copies of Fiona's book will be on sale at the event.
