Author talk on An Attractive Naivety at the Woodend Library
Come along for a chat and a cuppa at the Woodend Library with local writer David Gormley-O'Brien as he is interviewed by Dr Matthew Gisborne about his recently published historical novel An Attractive Naivety.
Inspired by real people and events the story follows the lives of three generations of an Australian family living through the first half of the 20th century, a turbulent epoch of extraordinary achievements and tragedies. It brings to life several little-known facts in Australia's history, and highlights the joys, hopes, despairs and resilience of the people living during those difficult times.
