New author
EMERGING Australian writer Jarrah Dundler will be in conversation about his debut novel Hey Brother at BookPlus.
Jarrah’s brilliant debut novel, Hey Brother is a story of life, love and loss in rural Australia.
It’s a wonderful portrait of a family as seen through the eyes of a boy on the brink of manhood.
A true coming of age story and could be a great gift idea for Father’s Day too.
Come and meet Jarrah at BooksPlus in Bathurst this Friday, August 31 at 6pm.
