A new novel from the much-loved, Miles Franklin shortlisted Favel Parrett. In the tradition of Claire Keegan and Sarah Winman comes an unforgettable story of love and betrayal through the eyes of a child.

The rhythm drew me in, so even though I did not understand all of the words, I felt like I understood the feeling of the story. And that shook and excited me at the same time. For it was not only words that told a story. There was a kind of magic happening and I wanted to find out how it worked and how I could do it. I wanted to find out everything about it.

Norway, 1939. When young Einar Halvorsen first meets his new teacher, he does not yet know that this man will introduce him to a profound love of words. He cannot guess how he will teach him that stories can open up your world and bring joy in the darkest of times.

Or how the new teacher will change his family forever.

As war comes to Einar's town, this man ignites a pride in Einar that the Nazis cannot steal. Seventy years on, he will also teach Einar that some sorrows are never left behind.

Poetic and brutally tender, One for Sorrow is a timely novel of family and love in a world deeply divided. Like Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These, there is truth and power in its telling and its characters. It is masterful, exquisite and unforgettable.
