# Event Details - **Event Name**: Author Event: Katherine Johnson at Devonport Library - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+10:00) - **Event Description**: Tasmanian author Katherine Johnson discusses her new novel Every Wild SoulAbout this EventJoin award winning Tasmanian author Katherine Johnson as she discusses her new novel Every Wild Soul, a lyrical and compelling tale of secrets, survival and the healing power of nature.On Tasmania's wild and remote Maria Island, eighteen-year-old Min is trying to break free from her controlling, overly protective father, the island's head ranger. Her unlikely ally is Werner, an eccentric, homeless biologist who has always taught her to care for the imperilled natural world around her - even as it sets them against Piers, her father, who has his own plans. When Lucie, a journalist haunted by her family's role in the thylacine's extinction, arrives from London to investigate the island's Tasmanian devil conservation project, she is drawn into the island's rare beauty and mysteries, discovering a community grappling with the tension between progress and preservation, care and control. After a tempestuous storm sees a stranger wash ashore, a chain of events is set in motion that ends in a shocking and mysterious death, only weeks later.A breathtakingly beautiful and gripping exploration of humanity's connection to the wild - and the hope that can be born from even the darkest of times - Every Wild Soul is an absorbing and evocative exploration of resilience, rewilding and healing, a story with nature and courage at its heart. Perfect for readers of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Prodigal Summer, and Wild Dark Shore, it is a vivid and haunting ode to the wild in all of us.Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Devonport Bookshop on the night - chat to Katherine as she signs them for you.By registering for a Libraries Tasmania event, you agree to follow our policies – including the Responsible Conduct Policy and Safeguarding Children Policy.
