Description

Alice Nelson chats to Dani Vee about her beautiful slow burning novel The Children's House. We discuss motherhood, the importance of empathy, colliding cultures and refugees. We unpack the complexities of marriage and how marriage can't stand too much trouble. Alice discusses religious rituals, and how they can provide comfort in a dark world.

The Children's House has been described as an 'elegant and finely tuned work that hums with condensed life.' Stephanie Bishop

'It is a brave and original exploration of human complexity and vulnerability, a tale of reparation. Both fierce and tender.' Leah Kaminsky
