5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Port Macquarie Library

Courtney Collin will be visiting Port Macquarie to discuss her latest novel, ‘Bird’.

‘You walk and the harvest moon casts the clearest of shadows. You are nervous. With a moon like that, it is not a night for escaping. It is a night made better for hunting runaway girls.’

Himalayas: Unknown Year ‘Ten thousand strands of trouble,’ is what Bird’s father says, watching as Bird’s sister braids her hair. On the eve of her fourteenth year, that trouble finds Bird. Fleeing her home to escape an arranged marriage, she attempts to vanish into a crowd of pilgrims – not knowing that violence is circling, and that it already has its eyes on her. In search of her own life and her own truth, she could never imagine how long and how far it would take her.

This is a free event hosted by Port Macquarie Library and all are welcome. RSVPs are essential - to reserve your seat, please visit the library’s website here.

BOOK FACE Port Macquarie will be there on the night with copies available for purchase.
