Centennial Supper Club with Michael Robotham

Centennial Vineyards Restaurant

Michael Robotham’s new book is the astonishing, emotional epic Tell Me Something True. It’s a mystery, a coming-of-age tale and a love story wrapped into one, set against the simmering tensions of a small Australian town.

You’re invited to hear all about it from the bestselling, award-winning novelist and master storyteller.

Tickets include drink on arrival, dinner, author talk and book-signing.

About Tell Me Something True

Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association. His return to the former goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved - the ones he couldn't save.

Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago.

The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.
