From the acclaimed author of The House of Youssef comes this extraordinary and unique novel shining a light on Australian rural life. A tapestry that makes up this place called home.
Wandi is Favel’s first book for children and is published by Lothian Children’s Books. This is a version of small-town Australia that is recognisable, both familiar and new, exploring the characters, threads, and connections that detail everyday life to reveal a much bigger story. Favel Parrett is well known for her beautifully crafted novels for adults, Past the Shallows, When the Night Comes and There Was Still Love (which I’ve reviewed at PaperbarksWords). Perceptions differ, truths are elusive, judgements have outcomes and everything is connected. But no-one sees anything quite the same way. Their families, histories and stories are interwoven and well-known by one and all. When the river runs dry, the town runs red. Without doubt Australiana is an unnerving contribution to contemporary novel writing in this continent.' - Books + Publishing 'Kassab creates an eerie sense of place as the reader is drawn into myriad perspectives and geographies. ‘The real deal.’ – Favel Parrett, author of Past the Shallows and There Was Still Love
