Author Talk: Lyn Yeowart - Mornington Library

Next date: Tuesday, 18 November 2025 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Recommended for adults.

Join Melbourne crime author Lyn Yeowart as she discusses her new book, The Hollow Girl.

Set deep in the Victorian countryside, Harrowford Hall has long been a refuge for young women in crisis. When Jane McEvoy is sent to the home in 1961, she has no idea how she got pregnant or what she is in for. In 1973, Detective Sargeant Eleanor Smith is investigating a murder at the home. The women’s stories are about to intertwine. Behind the iron gates, the eerie mansion is hiding something truly sinister…

The Hollow Girl is based on true events. The epidemic of forced adoption across Australia and institutions for unwed mothers has impacted countless women – one of which was Lyn’s dear friend. Her story was the inspiration behind the themes and setting of this devastating and chilling thriller.

Free, bookings essential.
