An older man with grey hair sits on auditorium steps, smiling and holding a colourful book titled “Painting the Light.” Surrounded by students, he seems to extend an invitation to join in the excitement of his forthcoming book launch.

Don’t miss out: Painting the Light book launch invitation

Multi-talented IGS teacher, actor and writer Ned Manning has published a historical romance, and the IGS community is invited to the launch.

The book, set before, during and after World War II is described as “a story of love, idealism and commitment to social change in a time of deep conservatism” which will “surprise and delight”.

The launch will be held at Gleebooks at 49 Glebe Point Road on Friday 10 June at 6pm for a 6.30pm interview with Annabel Crabb. Click here to book.
