Cessnock City Council is delighted to welcome award-winning Australian author Penelope Janu, who will discuss her latest novel 'The Summerfield Saddler' and sign copies of her books at Cessnock Library between 4pm and 5pm on Monday 17 February, 2025.
'The Summerfield Saddler' is a heart-warming romance story that explores themes of love, connection, and community.
