Campbell, author of Daughters of Eve FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Julie Bennett fell in love with words at a very young age and soon after leaving school began a career in libraries. In her late twenties she decided to follow her dream to write for a living and, after graduating university, became a journalist. In 2004 she launched a public relations company, which she still manages today. Julie lives with her wonderful husband, Bruce and their gorgeous kelpie cross cattle dog, Riley, within walking distance of the Sydney Opera House where she performed as a child extra back in 1973, the year it opened. The Lost Letters of Rose Carey is Julies second novel. Her debut The Understudy was published by Simon & Schuster in 2022. Review This novel is such an accomplished feat. The reverberation between the two protagonists, separated in time, is masterful. At its core though, it is a novel which exemplifies female power. A tour de force of female agency. -- Meg Keneally, author of FledThis is a must-read book for fans of Kate Morton and Natasha Lester and those who enjoy a story that develops through bittersweet, passionate, and deeply moving letters. * Books+Publishing *Matters of trust, honesty and secrets strike a chord even 100 years apart in this engaging read for historical fiction fans wholl no doubt be googling Kellerman. * Geelong Advertiser *I was instantly captured by Emma Quinn and her struggle to conceive a child with her wife Lauren, but it was Bennetts ability to seamlessly sew a century old mystery into the narrative through Rose Careys letters that saw me lose my heart to this book. A compelling story of love, loss and the true meaning of family, The Lost Letters of Rose Carey grabbed me on page one and Im not sure it will ever truly let me go! -- Nina D. Campbell, author of Daughters of EveThe Lost Letters of Rose Carey is a beautifully written, expertly entwined story of two women, 100 years apart, who ultimately share a stunning connection.
