THE Mount Gambier Library will host bestselling author Victoria Purman this month as she prepares to launch latest work, ‘The Radio Hour’.
The Radio Hour explores the golden years of radio broadcasting in post-war Australia, celebrating the women who wrote the radio plays that held a nation captive.
Ms Purman’s work focuses mainly on wartime and post-war Australian fiction, which she has previously presented in the Mount Gambier Library on numerous occasions.
Mount Gambier Library manager Georgina Davison said it was always a pleasure to have Ms Purman visit the town.
“We have had the pleasure of hosting Victoria Purman on previous occasions, presenting her recent titles such as The Nurses’ War, The Women’s Pages, and last year’s enthralling novel, A Woman’s Work,” Ms Davison said.
“With her engaging warmth and captivating storytelling, Victoria Purman never fails to leave our audience entertained.
“Victoria Purman’s novels seamlessly blend fact and fiction, offering readers an immersive journey through moments in Australian history.
“Her latest release, The Radio Hour, will captivate and inspire audiences of all ages.”
The free event will be held at the Mount Gambier Library on May 15 from 7pm with supper included.
Bookings are required, which can be made by contacting the library on 8721 2540.
