Join us on Tuesday 19th July at 10.30am in our Port Macquarie Library Meeting Room as Leanne chats to author Rod Noble.

Local Rod Noble, is an artist, writer and retired Teacher of the Deaf. Growing up on the Myall River, Rod has a strong connection with the flora and fauna of the region, winning the Port Macquarie Hastings Heritage Art Award for his painting of North Brother Mountain. Bird life, refugees, teaching language, faith and romance form the frame work of his novel …

The Egg Thief

This book is a work of fiction, though some of the characters and events are based on true stories.

Fern arrives in Australia by fishing boat, a refugee, escaping her war-torn country of Vietnam. A boatload of desperate people disgorged onto the barren Northern Territory coastline.

She first encounters the local Aboriginal people and the path that emerges, leads to a remote community in Arnhem Land. Is there a future here for a young Asian woman?

Birds and their eggs bring her joy and friendships, but discovering the love of a MAF pilot opens a way to new life and the understanding that God is seeking her out.
