Join author Kyra Geddes in conversation at Dubbo Library as she discusses her stunning debut, The Story Thief, a moving family saga inspired by one of Australia’s most infamous stories – Henry Lawson’s, The Drover’s Wife.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Her family’s story made Henry Lawson famous. But was it his to tell? Fact, fiction, truth and imagination meld into one in this moving family saga set against shifting landscapes and pivotal moments in Australian history. Inspired by The Drover’s Wife, The Story Thief is about mothers and daughters, love, loss and the power of words. Ultimately it is about how each of us must find our own way to live.

Following a successful career in marketing, Kyra returned to university to study English and pursue her life-long dream of writing. The Story Thief is her debut novel, and the culmination of almost a decade of research and writing.
