We are honoured to have the award-winning author of Bruny and The Museum of Modern Love, Heather Rose, talking about her new memoir Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here. Her latest book is a deeply personal collection filled with reflections on love, death, creativity, and healing.

Growing up on the remote island of Tasmania, Heather Rose falls in love with nature, but a tragedy at age twelve sets her on a course to explore life’s mysteries. Here is a wild barefoot girl born for adventure, a curious seeker initiated in ancient rituals, a fledgling writer who becomes one of Australia’s most highly awarded authors, a businesswoman and a mother whose body may falter at any moment. Heartbreaking and beautiful, Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here is a love story brimming with courage and joy against all odds.

This event is free to attend but bookings are essential.
