One for Sorrow

​Join Brunswick Bound for a special evening with Favel Parrett to celebrate One for Sorrow, a landmark new work from the Miles Franklin shortlisted novelist.

​At this exclusive Naarm event, Brunswick Bound’s favourite Australian author, Favel Parrett, will be in conversation with Astrid Edwards (Future Women), followed by a Q&A and book signing.

​Norway, 1939. When young Einar Halvorsen first meets his new teacher, he does not yet know that this man will introduce him to a profound love of words. He cannot guess how he will teach him that stories can open up your world and bring joy in the darkest of times.

​Or how the new teacher will change his family forever.

​As war comes to Einar's town, this man ignites a pride in Einar that the Nazis cannot steal. Seventy years on, he will also teach Einar that some sorrows are never left behind.

​Poetic and brutally tender, One for Sorrow is a timely novel of family and love in a world deeply divided. Like Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These, there is truth and power in its telling and its characters. It is masterful, exquisite and unforgettable.
