BEECHWORTH library is inviting the community to go in conversation with esteemed historical fiction author Paul Morgan at an event next Friday, October 11.

Mr Morgan will be visiting Beechworth to discusses his new book 'The Winter Palace'.

The historic fiction follows the lives of Anton and Elisabeth, torn apart by the 'Polish Abduction' during World War II, when Nazi Germany joined forces with the Soviet Union and invaded Poland, causing millions of soldiers and civilians to wander through Soviet Asia as part of a lost army.

Spanning from 1930's Europe to contemporary Australia, this tale portrays a love that transcends time, distance and conflict.

'The Winter Palace' is the third book written by the London born author, having previously written ‘The Pelagius Book’ and ‘Turner’s Paintbox’.

This library event is free and begins from 5:30pm, with booking are essential.

Light refreshments will be served.
