Andra Putnis: Stories My Grandmothers Didn’t Tell Me

Overview

Spend an evening with author Andra Putnis as she discusses her captivating new memoir, Stories My Grandmothers Didn’t Tell Me.

When Andra defies a family taboo against exploring their past, she is thrust into the dark era of Soviet and Nazi occupations in Latvia during World War II and uncovers her grandmothers’ hidden lives.

Her moving narrative reveals unexpected links to the Greta Migrant Camp and the migrant experience in the Hunter region.

Enjoy wine and light refreshments as you learn more about the devastating impact of World War II on everyday women in Eastern Europe, and the incredible journeys they made to build safe lives for themselves and their families in Australia
