There Was Still Love by Favel Parrett
4.0
The story of a family separated by war and circumstances - but there was still love.
Parrett writes economically but with tenderness and attention to detail. She has incredible powers of observation especially in regard to family dynamics. I attended a reading and book signing of hers and she seems to be a person who is gentle, sensitive and introverted. If so this certainly comes across in her writing - and I love it. This story celebrates the special relationship between a child and their grandparents, and although I had a happy childhood, this story made me miss the grandparents that I never had.
