Author talk: Julia Panfylova

Lada Between Two Worlds – stuck in between, torn apart.

Stuck in between, torn apart. The soul, the heart, the body slashed by half. Two lives: the one before and the one after. Two languages, two cultures. She is a migrant, she is an alien, she is a stoat.

Lada Between Two Words (junior, fantasy) started as a book about animal rights and the cruelty that introduced animals are facing. But over multiple drafts, it evolved into something so much deeper. It is a story that challenges good and bad, a story that explores perspectives. It also includes topics of Māori colonisation and dealing with NZ Immigration, with gentle hints that only adults could pick up on.

Come to hear about Julia’s experience of self-publishing her first book and how it reflects her own life journey.
