Our next Lit Reads title is another New Zealand title, Acorn Prize Fiction winner Catherine Chidgey. Set in World War 2, Remote Sympathy tells the story of an unlikely friendship between an SAS Officer's wife and a Jewish doctor whose invention could change her life. Beautifully told and exceptionally researched, Remote Sympathy is a fascinating look into collective and individual pain and the bridges we can build in spite of it.
