Author Talk: Madeleine Cleary - Rosebud Library

Join Madeleine Cleary as she shares the fascinating story behind her historical fiction novel, The Butterfly Women. Suitable for adults.

Inspired by the discovery that her female ancestors lived and worked in brothels in colonial Melbourne, The Butterfly Women brings to life the vibrant and gritty world of the red light district ‘Little Lon’ and the women who shaped it. In this engaging talk, Madeleine will explore the journey from uncovering her family’s hidden past to crafting a compelling narrative, her writing process, and the road to publication.

Don’t miss this chance to hear about the real women behind the story, the challenges and triumphs of writing historical fiction, and the inspiration that led to a book shortlisted for Dymocks Book of the Year and longlisted for the Indie Book Awards.
