Look who dropped into the Margaret River BookShop today! 📚✨
Author Lynsey McDonnell was here signing copies of her latest novel, Bailey Street — a captivating dual-timeline story of love, secrets, courage and one of Western Australia’s most fascinating historical figures: John Boyle O’Reilly, the Irish Fenian convict of Catalpa fame.

From a convict ship bound for Western Australia… to a forbidden romance in Bunbury… and 150 years later, a woman uncovering long-buried family secrets — Bailey Street brings the past vividly into the present. This is a MUST READ!!!
