Mayfair, 1910. At the age of ninety, Florence Nightingale is frail and no longer of sound mind. After a celebrated career as a nurse, writer and statistician, she now leads a reclusive existence. One summer evening she is astonished to receive a visitor: a young man named Silas Bradley, who claims to have met her during the Crimean War fifty-five years ago. But how can this be? And how does the elusive Jean Frawley connect their two lives? In this eagerly anticipated novel, Laura Elvery shows why she is one of the most lauded writers of her generation. Join Laura as she shares her latest novel, Nightingale - a luminous tale of faith and love, bravery and care, and the vitality of women’s work. Books will be available for purchase or bring your copy from home to be signed. To reserve your place, visit www.eventbrite.com.au and search ‘Meet Laura Elvery’.
