In the story of this novel we travel from Rwanda to the kibbutzim of Israel and finally to New York. But there is more behind the story and Alice Nelson tells us about that today when we discuss The Children’s House. We find out about the main characters and there is a very topical reference to asylum seekers and refugees of which Alice has direct experience. This is a love song to families in all their mysteries and complexities their different configurations and the hope that creates them.

His services have been sought in recent times because of the particular difficulties in progression planning for the family business. Owen empowers men to move forward and embrace changes. This responsibility has never been greater.
