Fairfield Library | Meet Pamela Rushby
2024-08-31 13:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Fairfield Library, Fairfield Gardens, 180 Fairfield Rd, Fairfield, Queensland, 4103, Australia
When Hilly volunteers for the Australian Women’s Land Army in 1942, she’s 16 years old. She expects to be picking sun-kissed peaches and bottle-feeding fluffy white lambs. While wearing those flattering shorts. The reality is a little different. Travelling to farms across Queensland, Hilly encounters backbreaking work – but also friendship and fellowship with other Land Army girls, Aileen and Glad. All seeking independence for their own reasons. War is a chance for a life away from family problems, offering freedom and romance. But the poster didn’t mention crutching sheep. Or 4am starts. Or the prejudice the girls would face, and the fact that some men needed to be fought off, rather than fought for. Hilly begins to find what she’s capable of – and it’s more than she ever thought possible. She is one of ‘those girls with grit’. Join multi-award winning author Pamela Rushby as she discusses her research and historical writing of her latest novel, Those Girls. Books will be available for purchase, or bring your copy from home to be signed. Bookings essential. To reserve your place, visit Eventbrite or call the library.
