There Was Still Love

De: Favel Parrett

Narrado por: Angourie Rice

Prague, 1938: Eva flies down the street from her sister. Suddenly a man steps out, a man wearing a hat. Eva runs into him, hits the pavement hard. His hat is in the gutter. His anger slaps Eva, but his hate will change everything, as war forces so many lives into small, brown suitcases.

Prague, 1980: No one sees Ludek. A young boy can slip right under the heavy blanket that covers this city - the fear cannot touch him. Ludek is free. And he sees everything. The world can do what it likes. The world can go to hell for all he cares because Babi is waiting for him in the warm flat. His whole world.

Melbourne, 1980: Malá Liška's grandma holds her hand as they climb the stairs to their third floor flat. Inside, the smell of warm pipe tobacco and homemade cakes. Here, Mána and Bill have made a life for themselves and their granddaughter. A life imbued with the spirit of Prague and the loved ones left behind.

AACTA award winner, Angourie Rice brings Favel Parrett's deep emotional insight and stellar literary talent to life in this love letter to the strong women who bind families together, despite dislocation and distance. It is a tender and beautifully told story of memory, family and love. Because there is still love. No matter what.

Reseñas de la Crítica

gentle and tender ... so much is conveyed in so few words

Great story and narrator

Angourie Rice could narrate the dictionary and it would sound good. She has a great voice that makes you want to listen to the story the whole time. Hope she finds the time to narrate more audiobooks.
