Lunch with a celebrated novelist

FIONA McIntosh enjoyed a long career in the travel industry before becoming an author, and continues to travel the world for inspiration for her bestselling novels and now, she is coming to Noosa.
On 25 November, The Riverdeck Restaurant and Bar is very excited to be welcoming the talented and entertaining author to a special lunch event.
The chart-topping author of The Perfumer’s Secret, Fiona has written a sensuous novel about family duty, honour and the intoxication of forbidden love; and chocolate.
It was when she visited York Chocolate Museum and discovered a chocolate tin from the front line, and learnt of its origin, that her story really took its hold.
The Chocolate Tin is a heart-wrenching novel from one our most cherished storytellers, taking us from the beautiful historic town of York to the horrifying trenches of the World War I.
The Chocolate Tin took her all over Europe to the famous chocolate destinations of Belgium, Bruges, Switzerland and Austria, as well as the battlefields of Northern France.
This is an event not to miss if you have read any of Fiona’s work.
Tickets are $55 per person and the price includes a two-course lunch with welcoming glass of bubbles.
It begins at noon at The Riverdeck Restaurant and Bar on the Noosa Marina. Bookings are essential, so call 5448 2053 or email anniesbooks@bigpond.com for further details.
