Please book your place by calling Grenfell Library on 6343 1334 or visit during Opening Hours.
About The Midnight Estate:
In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wirimbura, the rambling family estate. Intent on restoring it - despite her mother's objections - she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated country mansion. Beneath the crumbling plaster are secrets that have been buried for a generation.
A gothic epic spanning generations, Kelly Rimmer weaves a tale as immersive as Kate Morton's Homecoming, inviting readers into the heart of a family's darkest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.
Kelly Rimmer is the author of historical and contemporary fiction, including The Warsaw Orphan, The Things We Cannot Say and The Secret Daughter, with 3 million books sold. Her stories have been translated into dozens of languages and have appeared on bestseller lists around the world, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
Since 2022, Kelly has owned and operated Collins Booksellers Orange. Her fourteenth novel, The Midnight Estate, will be published in late July 2025.
Books will be available for sales and signings on the day for $29.99 each. The event also includes refreshments.
