Family Sagas: Japan, Hong Kong and Australia

  • Terrace Room (National Portrait Gallery) King Edward Terrace Parkes, ACT, 2600 Australia (map)

These authors reach out through family connections and history to bring us great intergenerational novels about women surviving war, loss and disconnection. Join Alli Parker (Until the Red Leaves Fall) and Emma Pei Yin (When Sleeping Women Wake) here in conversation with Kate Evans from ABC Radio National’s The Bookshelf, to discuss their personal connections to the books they have written, and to Hong Kong and Japanese WW2 history. They will reflect on the stories we want to tell... and the pressure to eventually let the truth out.
