Favel Parrett
There was still love - Listen
There Was Still Love, the profoundly moving new novel from Miles Franklin Award–shortlisted author Favel Parrett, follows twin sisters separated at 15 by the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia and kept apart by the Cold War. Tender and beautifully told, the story reads as a love letter to strong women who bind families together. Elizabeth McCarthy meets Favel to reflect on a novel that explores what it means to make a home, and how a person might secure freedom in a world ruptured by political and personal upheavals.
This recording is available on all major podcast platforms.
