Event Description
Ross McMullin is an award-winning biographer, a renowned storyteller, and an entertaining speaker.
His lost generation multi-biographies have been widely acclaimed. "Life So Full of Promise" won The Age Book of the Year Award in 2024. It follows "Farewell Dear People", which won the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History.
In "Life So Full of Promise" Ross has again combined prodigious research and narrative flair in a collection of interwoven family stories about forgotten Australians who had radiant potential. The rich cast of characters includes a popular doctor, a brilliant cricketer, and a potential prime minister, with a fervent love story in the mix. With their families and friends also conspicuous, Life So Full of Promise illuminates what the war was like at home and at the sharp end.
Don’t miss this one. You’ll be enlightened, entertained and moved as Ross brings these extraordinary yet unknown Australians back to life.
