Local author Averil Kenny will be talking about her debut novel Those Hamilton Sisters at the City Library on Friday 23 April.

The mother-of-four grew up on a dairy farm, has worked in the tourism industry, studied Education at James Cook University and has completed a Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Queensland.

“I am so looking forward to chatting with fellow book lovers in the beautiful Cairns City Library on Friday. And what perfect rainy weather we’re having for a cosy library event,” Ms Kenny said.

Released earlier this month, Those Hamilton Sisters is described as a moving story of family, secrets and love the focuses on three orphaned sisters growing up in a small town.

Beautiful, irrepressible Esther Hamilton had a reputation in the small Queensland town of Noah Vale.

That was until she ran away, twenty years ago, under a cloud of shame.

It's now 1955 and following their mother's death, the Hamilton sisters – Sonnet, Fable and little Novella Plum – have returned to Noah Vale to live near their aunt and uncle.

The Authors in the Library event featuring Averil Kenny will be held at the City Library on Friday 23 April at 11am.

Ms Kenny will be available to answer questions and her book will be available for sale and signing.
