The Distance Between Dreams
The Distance Between Dreams
Set in WWII-era Fremantle, this poignant tale follows Sarah Willis, a privileged girl with family tensions, and Winston Keller, a working-class boy wary of dreaming. Their romance is torn apart by a hidden secret linking their fathers, leaving them to navigate war, heartbreak, and the haunting echo of lost love.
The Distance Between Dreams is a heart-wrenching romance set around WWII that was shortlisted for the 2023 Fogarty Literary Award.
Sarah Willis longs to free herself from the expectations of a privileged upbringing, while Winston Keller can't afford the luxury of a dream. Despite their differences, the pair are drawn together in a whirlwind romance that defies the boundaries of class.
But when a dark family secret pulls the young lovers apart, and WWII plunges the world into chaos, it seems impossible they will ever find their way back to each other β or even hold onto the dream of what might have been.
