BOOKS
From the time sarah’s mother gifted her a type-writer, she was compelled to write stories.
Sarah’s debut novel, ‘Canvas’ was published in 2018. Filled with tales of hidden love, dark family secrets, and chance encounters, Canvas is a sharply observed and compelling family drama, interwoven across generations and set in the heart of Australia’s iconic grazing country.
Sarah is now writing her second novel, due for release at the end of 2024.
PRAISE FOR CANVAS
“Thoroughly researched so that the past comes to life - a master storyteller who provides plenty of twists and and turns and then ties them all together ending with a totally satisfying resolution. Well done Sarah - looking forward to your next book.”
“It had me at the first page. To weave a story around five generations of pastoralists, told through the voices of three strong, yet realistically flawed women, demonstrates Sarah Hopes skill as a writer and researcher. The style of writing, the voices, speak truly for their respective eras; Florence in the 1870’s, Cecily in the 1940s, 50s and modern day, and Alice - the granddaughter of one, great great niece of the other. Within each chapter, the nuances of the period were delivered seamlessly, transporting me in turn to the lives and times of the women and their families ... The author’s great love of Victoria’s western district leaps from the page, as does her knowledge of fine arts and Australian and English arts history. Highly recommend.
