'There are no winners in war.
In Miles Franklin-nominated author Favel Parrett’s third novel, teenage twin sisters – vibrant, smart, mostly happy – are wrenched apart at the beginning of World War II. Four decades later, in 1980, one is still in Prague and the other lives in Melbourne, each tasked with looking after her grandchild. Each sister also holds in her heart a quiet resentment for the other: the one in Prague has endured war and Communism, while her twin has struggled to build a new life and family while also learning a new language.
