Author Event Konrad Muller at Devonport Library

Join us to hear Konrad Muller discuss his new novel My Heart at Evening, in conversation with Rodney Croome.

1832, Van Diemen’s Land. A troubled, unnamed emissary narrates his journey north from Hobart Town to Circular Head (present-day Stanley) where he has been sent to investigate the circumstances surrounding the suicide of Henry Hellyer—surveyor, amateur botanist, artist, and friend to the wife of the Chief Agent in the north.

My Heart at Evening is an irresistible observation of the forces that shaped Tasmania, and Australia more broadly, from power, to mateship, sexuality, and isolation—forces we still recognise today.

Copies will be available for purchase on the night, chat to Konrad as he signs them for you.
