Join us at the library for a cup of tea/coffee and live conversation with bestselling author Meg Keneally!

From the bestselling author of Fled comes a moving tale of revolution, treachery and courage. Meg will discuss her new title ' The Wreck' and how the story came about.

This one is for fans of historical, adventure and women's fiction, in the vein of Kate Forsyth, Kate Morton, and even Clive Cussler.
