Join us this Friday 12th June at 3pm, for an author talk with Greg Duncan, about the story behind his novel:
'Champagne in a Broken Teacup'

This action-packed historical thriller was inspired by the real life activities of Greg's French aunt who was a forger and fighter with the French resistance in World War 2.
In a fully illustrated talk local author, Greg Duncan, will be describing how he researched the historical background for this novel so that he could integrate historical fact into a thrilling fictional story and bring it alive.
He will also be sharing some of the fascinating things he found such as the law banning the making of croissant!
