SUMMARY:Como House of Discovery: Traces of Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:History has left only traces of the experience of girlhood. Yet traces do remain\, poignant and important. They tell the stories of girls and young women who grew up in 19th and early 20th-century Victoria and the central role they played in our society.   \nThis exhibition at Como House in South Yarra will illuminate these traces\, featuring handiwork\, scrapbooks\, writing\, archaeological artefacts and photographs.   \nExploring themes including opportunities and expectations\, work and play\, learning and connections\, Traces of Girlhood brings together the diverse experiences of girls from our past through the things they have left behind.   \nBook tickets for the weekend Open House sessions to view the exhibition at your own pace\, or join a house tour to learn more of the history and stories of Como House & Garden.  \nThis exhibition is generously supported by The Hansen Little Public Humanities Grant\, Faculty of Arts\, University of Melbourne\, and presenting partner Heritage Victoria.

SUMMARY:MURDER IN PUNCH LANE: a conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host this conversation between author Jane Sullivan and historian/author Dr Andrew Lemon to mark the publication of Jane’s book\, Murder in Punch Lane.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by real events and people\, Murder in Punch Lane is a dark and gripping crime novel that maps the sins and secrets of nineteenth-century Melbourne.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelbourne\, 1868. When dazzling theatre star Marie St Denis dies in the arms of her best friend\, fellow actress Lola Sanchez\, everyone believes it was suicide by laudanum overdose. Everyone except Lola. On the brink of stardom herself\, she risks everything by embarking on a quest to find Marie’s killer. \nWhen journalist Magnus Scott\, writing as ‘the Walking Gentleman’\, publishes a compassionate obituary about her friend\, Lola decides to seek his help. A fraught attraction develops between these two amateur detectives from opposite sides of society\, and their volatile relationship soon begins to compromise their investigation. \nLola keeps a secret from Magnus. She traverses the corrupt underbelly of the brash young metropolis just as he does\, but disguised as a boy\, entering dangerous\, forbidden spaces where the lives of the rich and privileged intersect with the city’s underclass and outsiders: bohemians\, theatre folk\, prostitutes\, down-and-outs and opium addicts. \nNeither are prepared for the truths they will uncover about the powers that rule Melbourne – or the consequences for their own lives. And now they must race to find the murderer before the city destroys them both. \nPRAISE FOR MURDER IN PUNCH LANE: \n‘A story that is both lyrical and visceral’ SULARI GENTILL\, author of The Woman in the Library \n\n\n\n\nJane Sullivan is an author and literary journalist who loves books and has always written about them. \nHer latest novel is Murder in Punch Lane (Echo Publishing)\, set in 1868 Melbourne. Inspired by real events and people\, it follows the quest of two unlikely detectives as they become enmeshed in the sins and secrets of the brash goldfields city. \nJane writes the Saturday Turning Pages column about books and writing for the Age and the online Sydney Morning Herald. Her previous novel Little People\, set in 1870s Australia\, was shortlisted for the Scribe-CAL fiction prize and for the UK Encore award for a second novel. Her other books are a novel\, The White Star\, and a memoir\, Storytime\, about growing up with books. \n  \nHousekeeping \nPlease note that books will be for sale at this event and ticket-holders will get a $10 discount on purchasing Murder in Punch Lane (Zoom ticketholders will be sent a coupon code to apply to online purchases). \nThis event will be hybrid so presented in person in our rooms and also via ZOOM.
