Author Talk - The Titanic Story of Evelyn - Lisa Wilkinson (BL)

The Titanic Story of Evelyn is the never-before-told tale of the only Australian-born survivor of the sinking of the Titanic

Lisa Wilkinson's The Titanic Story of Evelyn is the never-before-told true tale of the only Australian-born survivor of the sinking of the Titanic. Join Australian television presenter, journalist, magazine editor and author, Lisa Wilkinson AM, for a fascinating evening as we find out more about the incredible drama of the sinking of the Titanic and Evelyn Marsden's own extraordinary, uniquely Australian story. It is a tale that will ensure the world is about to fall in love with this heroic young woman from South Australia.

The Titanic Story of Evelyn is the story of a brave young Australian nurse who wanted to see the world, fell in love, then almost lost it all in one of the greatest maritime tragedies the world has ever known. And yet somehow, few Australians know anything of Evelyn's existence, the courageous role she played in the hours after the Titanic was fatally hit by an iceberg, or the heartwarming love story behind it all, that even now, lives on.

Lisa will be in conversation with best-selling South Australian author, Lainie Anderson.

This event is in association with Matilda Bookshop who will be selling copies of The Titanic Story of Evelyn at the event.
