Stories Behind the Storyteller
I’m heading up the NSW east coast for a series of talks celebrating the release of Louisa.
| Discover Louisa, Gwen Wilson’s powerful historical novel of betrayal, independence, and hope. It traces the remarkable journey of Louisa Whitley, a young woman who defies Victorian constraints to build a new life in 19th‑century Australia. From her solitary voyage aboard the Leicester Castle to the unforgiving realities of colonial life, Louisa’s story unfolds with courage, resilience, and an enduring belief in her own future. About the Author Gwen Wilson is an author and storyteller whose work celebrates memory, place, and the revealing details of everyday lives. In conversation, she invites readers behind the page to explore the experiences, observations, and quiet sparks that shape our history. In this series of talks Gwen shares how she blended archival research with family history to illuminate themes of migration, women’s untold stories, and the quiet strength that shapes generations. A warm, engaging event for lovers of historical fiction, family historians, and all who cherish the preservation of memory. | ||
