I liked the idea of taking our story and ramping it up with all the ‘what ifs.’ Thankfully our journey was a lot less fraught with difficulties than my fictional family, but I feel sure that things don’t always go according to plan! Distance examines in detail the conflicting family emotions when one is making a momentous decision to uproot the whole family for a different life. Well it’s true that we emigrated to Australiafrom Walesin 2002 and ‘Distance’ is loosely based on our experiences. Nene: I am aware that you’re Welsh and have immigrated to Australia.Even though “Distance” is a novel, how much of it mirrors your own reality? It is a brave novel that goes beyond sunshine and barbies and looks at the harsh reality of the decision making process of making this step which so many people dream of. Review copy of book provided free of charge by the author.ĭistance is about one family’s decision to uproot themselves from their home country of Wales to Australia.
She also featured on my League of Expat Writers. Today I feature Nene Davies whose book, “Distance” I have recently completed. As you know, my author interviews feature stories of people who’ve made brave journeys around the world or expatriated themselves, as well as Greek fiction/non-fiction.
