Don’t miss this two-way conversation between two writers on either ends of the globe, Suzanne Leal in Sydney and Jennifer Steil in London, talking about the strange parallels between their brand new novels, The Deceptions and Exile Music respectively. Both books talk about the Jewish experience in WWII, were inspired by the stories of real people and actual events and involve music. Of course, there’s a million differences as well - for one, Suzanne’s novel is set in Europe, where Jennifer’s takes place in Bolivia. Still, it seemed like a snap moment we simply had to explore!
