Wauchope: Author Talk on Louisa, an Historical Novel
Please join us for a chat with author Gwen Wilson at our Wauchope Library on Saturday 10th October at 10.30am.
Gwen is a Wollongong-based author and blogger, captivating readers worldwide with her best-selling memoir I Belong to No One (Hachette). In Louisa, her debut historical novel, Wilson delves deep into the life of her great-grandmother and others of her era, to offer a heartfelt and imaginative portrayal of a woman’s quest for independence in 19th-century Australia. With meticulous historical detail and emotional depth, she blends fact and fiction to illuminate the lives of women too often lost to history.
Louisa has strong appeal for readers interested in Australian history, women’s stories, and genealogy and Gwen will talk about;
• the real history behind Louisa
• the process of turning family fragments into a compelling novel
• archival images and research insights
• reflections on women’s lives in colonial Australia
