Rural Romance Comes to Tamworth

Rural Romance Comes to Tamworth

emailThere’s a long history of classic love stories set in stunning, yet remote locations. Australia has its fair share of beautiful scenery, so it’s no surprise our landscape has inspired many a romance novel. Whether it’s the heavy heat of an outback station or the crisp fresh air of a hinterlands farm, there’s no better setting to explore the joy, pain and exquisite beauty of lust, love, and all things in between. The rural romance genre has blossomed over the last five years, focusing on small communities in regional Australia and the characters and romance that occur within the small towns. The genre is going from strength to strength and is now hugely popular.

Tamworth Library recognises the way that rural romance novels capture the miracle of love and the way it transforms loneliness and isolation into hope and happiness. Adding a little something different to the annual Tamworth Country Music Festival, the Library will be hosting an event on Thursday, 21st January 2016 with three of Australia’s most accomplished rural romance writers- Mandy Magro, Tea Cooper and Sarah Barrie – to discuss their latest releases, as well as bringing stories of their writing inspirations.
