Join bestselling author Victoria Purman at Dalby Library for an engaging In Conversation event as she discusses her latest book, The Radio Hour.

Delve into the captivating world of post-war Australia's golden age of radio broadcasting, where unseen women wrote the plays that held a nation spellbound. Follow Martha Berry, a polite and invisible spinster, as she navigates the chaos of a new radio serial, "As the Sun Sets," with an egotistical producer, a conservative broadcaster, and a motley cast of actors. Discover the secrets Martha harbors as she steps in to save the show, and the challenges she faces in a male-dominated industry.

Don't miss this opportunity to meet Victoria Purman, purchase signed copies of her book, and enjoy catering provided at this lunchtime event!
