Event Description

In this luminous tale of hope in the midst of darkness, Pip Williams expands the world of her bestselling novels, The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Bookbinder of Jericho. Sensual and sophisticated, The German Ward shows one of Australia’s most significant writers reaching the height of her skills.

Set in France during World War I, The German Ward follows a forbidden romance between an English nurse and a German prisoner of war, uncovered more than a century later through a mysterious series of drawings that reveal a story of love, loss and longing.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Devonport Bookshop at the event - chat to Pip as she signs them for you.
