Kate Forsyth is one of Australia's most loved and prolific authors. Hailing from a long line of literary ancestry, Kate has published more than forty novels and sold over a million books world wide. Her new novel, 'The Blue Rose' was released by Penguin Random House in July 2019 and was inspired by the parallel events of revolutionary France and Imperial China in the 18th century. A fascinating insight into a bygone era, 'The Blue Rose' is a gloriously rich tale of enduring love, cultural difference and of heeding lessons from our past. I was thoroughly captivated by this gorgeous book. If you love learning about historical events through fiction, this book is for you.
