Novelwords 2: Siobhan O'Brien talks about her historical novel 'All the Golden Light'

All the Golden Light is a sweeping work of historical fiction, exploring First World War Australia and how we find connection, meaning and beauty in a time of darkness. In 1918, Belowla, south coast New South Wales, as the Great War grinds to an end, Adelaide Roberts accompanies her father to a rugged island off the south coast of New South Wales to deliver much-needed supplies. While loss and deprivation have decimated the country, Ada is determined to live a life of purpose and hope, and dreams of living independently.

Siobhan O’Brien is an author, journalist and communications professional. She has written a number of books, including A Life by Design: The Art and Lives of Florence Broadhurst, and has worked for many media outlets, notably the Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue, Indesign and Monument. Siobhan lives in Bright and when she is not writing, she is fronting her band, Minnie and The Moonrakers.
