About this ebook

Long-lost sons. Orphan trains. Trapeze artists. Italian POW camps. Deceptions great and small.

Divorced and grieving over her comatose mother, Sophie Sanzari clicks into battle mode when a smooth-tongued Romanian-New Zealander arrives in Canada claiming to be her elderly father’s illegitimate son.

What follows is a twisting tale of secrets and social dilemmas, plots and perfidy, set against a remarkable and moving history of Italian immigration. Peopled with extraordinary characters, Sophie’s world is enthralling yet familiar in its modern family disunity.

My Father’s Ears is the compelling debut novel by journalist and travel writer Karen Goa. Funny and good-hearted, yet punctuated with heartbreak, this ironic, sharply entertaining story of love, lies and very hairy ears captivates to its astonishing end.

Author

Karen Goa

Award-winning freelance travel and food writer Karen Goa rides around on motorbikes and in classic cars, eats funky food (insects are off the menu) and finds out what ordinary folk all over the world are thinking. An expat Canadian based in Auckland, her quirky humor, original style and eye for the unusual make readers feel “like I’m right there”. When she’s not swinging through treetops in Borneo or living like a monk in South Korea she’s a pootling pillion around New Zealand’s back roads.She's also a radio short story writer, novelist and fused glass artist.Email karengoawriter@gmail.com to get in touch.
