SUMMARY:Kate Grenville - The Country Schoolmaster
LOCATION:Upstairs at Gleebooks
DESCRIPTION:6pm for 6.30pm Thursday 8th October\n\nKate Grenville in conver
 sation with Nicole Abadee\n\nRummaging around in the archives one afternoo
 n\, Kate Grenville comes across an innocuous-looking file full of letters 
 about a schoolteacher in country New South Wales. Intrigued\, she keeps re
 ading – and discovers a tale far more curious and complex than first app
 ears. Was Joseph Connor savagely beating the students in his care? Or was 
 he the victim of a small-town vendetta? And what went so terribly wrong be
 tween him and his daughter?\n\nUltimately\, Grenville simply has to know: 
 was Connor a victim or a villain? Part colonial cold case\, part locked-ro
 om mystery\, part the dance of a writer's imagination among facts and semi
 -facts\, The Country Schoolmaster is a book like no other. In it\, the nov
 elist comes to understand the seductive pleasure of story-making\, but als
 o its dangerous limitations. \n\n\nKate Grenville is one of Australia's mo
 st celebrated writers. Her international bestseller The Secret River was a
 warded local and overseas prizes and is now a much-loved classic. Grenvill
 e's other novels include The Lieutenant\, Lilian's Story\, the Orange Priz
 e–winner The Idea of Perfection and A Room Made of Leaves. Her works of 
 non-fiction include One Life: My Mother's Story\, Elizabeth Macarthur's Le
 tters and\, most recently\, Unsettled: A Journey Through Time and Place. 
 \n\nNicole Abadee is an event moderator and journalist who writes for the 
 Sydney Morning Herald and Harper’s Bazaar. She has been a literary judge
 \, podcaster and a guest on ABC Radio. Nicole is a board member of the Ele
 anor Dark Foundation which runs Varuna and the Blue Mountains Writers’ F
 estival and the Sydney Women’s Fund Advisory Council.\n\nBoletos: https:
