• The Hobart Bookshop is pleased to invite you to the launch of John Tully’s new novel, Robbed of Every Blessing.
Join us as Tim Thorne launches the book, which will be available for sale and signing.
Ireland, early 1800s. The Napoleonic Wars have ended, leaving an already disjointed country in peril. Maurice O’Dwyer, a young Irishman, considers the lifeless body of an English tithe-collector slain under a rain-filled sky. From that moment it seems his fate is sealed: he and his young simpleton brother, Padraig, are exiled to Australia, An Astrail, to the convict-filled island of Van Diemen’s Land – leaving behind his love, his land, and his liberty. However, in the bush Maurice discovers that there are allies in the most unlikely of places.

• The Hobart Bookshop is pleased to invite you to help us celebrate the release of David Day’s new book, Paul Keating: The Biography.
Join us in the shop for the event and to meet David Day; books available for sale and signing.
In the tradition of his bestselling Curtin and Chifley comes David Day’s exhaustive biography of one of our most fascinating prime ministers. Paul Keating was one of the most significant political figures of the late twentieth century, firstly as treasurer for eight years and then Prime Minister for five years. Although he has spent all of his adult life in the public eye, Keating has eschewed the idea of publishing his memoirs and has discouraged biographers from writing about his life. Undaunted, best-selling biographer David Day has taken on the task of giving Keating the biography that he deserves. Based on extensive research in libraries and archives, interviews with Keating’s former colleagues and associates, and walking the tracks of Keating’s life, Day has painted the first complete portrait of Paul Keating, covering both the public and private man.
When: Thursday April 16th, 5.30pm
Where: The Hobart Bookshop
