It's been a couple of years since I last interviewed Tania Blanchard. But every time I do, I am gobsmacked by her capacity to write stories that are both heartfelt and compelling. Books that give readers a glimpse into a bygone era, but also quietly document women’s histories - those women whose stories disappear from the history books or who are forgotten by the passage of time.
Tania is an international bestselling author and powerhouse in the historical fiction space with titles that include the 'The Girl From Munich', 'A Suitcase of Dreams', 'A Woman of Courage' and 'An Undeniable Voice'.
And this year, in her first predominantly Australian set novel, ‘The Paris Prize’ , Tania has delivered a sweeping story of life on the land through the difficult years of the second world war to the post-war years where demand for southern hemisphere wool put Australia’s wool growers front and centre of the international stage of haute couture.
An absolutely fantastic read that I’m certain you will love as much as I did.
