GINSIGHTS AUTHOR EVENT: Kelly Rimmer, Thursday 21 August 2025
On Thursday 21 August 2025, Big River Distilling Co and paperchain bookstore will host Ginsights with guest author Kelly Rimmer. Kelly writes historical and contemporary fiction, including The Warsaw Orphan, The Things We Cannot Say, The Secret Daughter, and The Paris Agent and has sold more than 2 million books. Her books have been translated into dozens of languages and have appeared on bestseller lists around the world, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
Kelly has included Ginsights in her tour for The Midnight Estate, a gothic epic spanning generations. The central character, Fiona Winslow, is intent on restoring a dilapidated country mansion on her family’s estate. When a book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own life - a story of love, loss and betrayal. She dismisses the similarities as coincidence, but as she's drawn deeper into the story, the lines between fiction and reality blur, and Fiona must ask herself: how well does she know her family?
Guests will be able to graze on complimentary snacks and can purchase cocktails or no alcohol drinks from the Big River menu. We will be serving a signature cocktail in honour of Kelly’s visit, a Lazy Susan that features Big River’s Mandarin Gin and Junos Amaro.
All are welcome to come along to join this informal reader/writer conversation co-sponsored by Canberra Writers Festival and MARION. You can find Ginsights at Big River Distilling Co, 1 Dairy Road, Fyshwick. Use Entry 2 off Dairy Road and park in carpark P4.
Bookings required and tickets are $10 per person.
