Swing by Bunbury Public Library on October 16 to catch up with WA's own Carol Astbury, who's not just an author but a pro at keeping audiences entertained. She'll be dishing the details about her book, "Remembrance of Love and War," inspired by her grandfather's journey—yes, we're diving into the life of one Thomas 'Tom' Bellamy. This fella wasn't just heavy on the heroic side; he managed to fall for a nurse named Grace while all hell was breaking loose during The Great War. Forget those sappy rom-coms; we're talking about romance amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

So, bring your coffee and get comfy for a yarn about love, courage, and the kind of family resilience that might just inspire you to give your relatives a bear hug—or maybe just a friendly nod, depending on your family dynamics. Astbury's tale unfolds the harsh realities of war, the strength of families, and how love can bloom even in the most desolate conditions—like discovering a hidden stash of chocolate when you've resigned yourself to a fruit salad. It's all free, but make sure you book your spot. Join us at 10 AM with a curious mind and maybe a cheeky question or two.
