My ancestors are all from Norway so it was a great pleasure to read these poems. I hope one day to have one of my poems published in Norway but I only write in English. Allegra

Comment on Kim Kelly’ s decade-long story road entwines history, politics and love by Kim Kelly

Hi Victoria. I’m looking forward to meeting you too – make sure you come and say hi after my session on Australian immigrant stories, on the Saturday. The Saturday program looks really strong for Australian historical fiction, with a session on colonial encounters as well, with Lucy Treloar and Nicole Alexander. All of the sessions will provide something of interest, though, I’m sure. And half the fun of the conference is meeting other like minds. I hope you have a great time there. Cheers – Kim

Hi Kim,
I look forward to meeting you at the HNSA in Melbourne. It will be my first conference of Australian historical authors so I’m not sure what to expect. As you write about Western Australia, and that’s my sphere too, I wonder if you could/would give me a few clues as to whose talks I might find most helpful. I’m not interested in the fantasy or European style that seems to be so common in this genre.
Many thanks

Victoria Mizen

I only read the novel last week (Feb 2017). Your quotes are a good synopses and reminder of what the book offers. Well done.

A fantastic story – and so happy to include it. I’d be interested in hearing which ones you’ve read already and which ones you like when you get to them!
