Winner of the 2024 Age Book of the Year Prize for Non-Fiction. 

Join acclaimed historian, biographer, and storyteller, Ross McMullin, as he talks about his new book, Life So Full of Promise: Further Biographies of Australia’s Lost Generation.  In his follow up to the award-winning Farewell Dear People, Ross shares a further collection of interwoven stories about Australia’s lost generation of World War I.

The rich cast of characters feature a popular doctor, a brilliant cricketer, and a potential prime minster, with a fervent love story also in the mix. They are profoundly moving stories of lives with radiant potential cut short, and the families and loved ones left behind.

You’ll be entertained, enlightened and moved as Ross brings these extraordinary yet unknown Australians back to life.
