Author Talk with Madeleine Cleary, ‘The Butterfly Women’
Monday 1 December 2025 at 6:30PM
Cheltenham
Event Description
Join us for a fascinating book talk from sensational new author Madeleine Cleary, a writer and podcaster from Melbourne.
Her compelling debut novel, The Butterfly Women, was chosen as Dymocks Fiction Book of the Month. It transports readers to 1863 Melbourne, where glittering wealth hides the shadows of Little Lon. The story is inspired by Madeleine's discovery of a personal connection to the thieves and prostitutes of colonial Melbourne.
Don't miss the chance to hear how this extraordinary true-life research shaped her writing.
Bookings required.
