Penelope Janu in conversation with Sandie Docker
Celebrate Library Lovers' Day with us! Join Sandie Docker as she interviews romance author Penelope Janu about her latest book, The Summerfield Saddler.
Mackenzie Henry is happy enough with her life in the small town of Summerfield. She doesn't want anything-or anybody-else.
So when her grandfather asks her to lead the fight to rehabilitate land destroyed by an open-cut mine, and work in front of the camera with a Norwegian documentary-making team, Mackenzie fears her life will be tipped on its axis. The documentary unearths secrets that threaten her family's reputation and her own safety. To make matters worse, Kit Thorsen is a threat to the heart Mackenzie has kept safe.
Penelope has a passion for creating stories that explore social and environmental issues, but her novels are fundamentally a celebration of Australian characters and communities.
Penelope will be joined in conversation with Sandie Docker, an Australian writer and author of multi-generational sagas such as The Redgum River Retreat and the Lyrebird Lake Ladies Choir.
