Author Evening with Tom Keneally

Posted on Monday 13 September 2021

How did Corporal Hitler's Luger from the First World War end up being the weapon that killed an IRA turncoat in Kempsey, New South Wales, in 1933?

One of Australia's favourite storytellers, Tom Keneally, has a new novel. 'Corporal Hitler's Pistol' speaks to the never-ending war that began with 'the war to end all wars'. Rural communities have always been a melting pot and many are happy to accept a diverse bunch … as long as they don’t overstep. Set in a town he knows very well, in this novel Tom Keneally tells a compelling story of the interactions and relationships between black and white Australians in early twentieth-century Australia.

This event will be conducted over Zoom, with the book for purchase online from Constant Reader
