BOOK LAUNCH - My Heart at Evening by Konrad Muller

You are invited to Petrarch's Bookshop as we launch My Heart at Evening by Konrad Muller to be joined by Luke Slattery.

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.

At once a personal reckoning and compelling mystery, 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.

All welcome. Free tickets provides general admission.
