Van Diemen's Land, 1839. A young woman arrives in Hobart, with a young boy in her care. Leasing an old cottage next to an abandoned vineyard, Caroline Douglas must navigate an insular colony of exiles and opportunists to create a new life on this island of extreme seasons and wild beauty.

In this unmissable edition of Books and Ideas at Montalto, acclaimed author Heather Rose sits down to her latest novel, A Great Act of Love – a spellbinding work of historical fiction set against the backdrop of colonial Tasmania.
Over an intimate two-course dinner, hear from Rose as she discusses how she came to write this enthralling tale of legacy, love and the making of champagne, with host Tracee Hutchison.
