Welcome to the New Books Network.
Rebecca Buchanan (1:35)
Hi, this is Rebecca Buchanan, host at New Books Network and today I'm here with Alana K. Arnold to talk about her new book, Holloway. Thank you so much Alana for being here with me today.
Alana K. Arnold (1:47)
Oh, it's such a pleasure. I'm so excited. This is Holloway's release day, so it's really neat to get to talk with someone who's read the book already. That doesn't usually happen right at the beginning of a launch, so this is exciting for me too.
Rebecca Buchanan (1:59)
So could you start off by giving a little bit of a synopsis about the book and what it's about?
Alana K. Arnold (2:05)
Sure. It makes me laugh because it's a hard one to encap, you know, to capture in a synopsis. But this is the story of Nora who is an 18 year old autistic girl. The story begins in 2021, kind of post Covid in quotes and she is on a train the metro in Paris alone because her mother refused to get the COVID vaccine, believing that the MMR gave her daughter autism. And her mother has died, leaving Nora alone in the world. And she's gone to Paris to try to do right by her mother and spread her ashes in a place she thinks she would want to be, but ends up through a series of events, slipping through a portal to 1946, France. Same place, different time, and the story moves on from there. It's a story about art and philosophy and neuroatypicality and family and what we owe people who have maybe done wrong by us. And I don't know how to heal in a time during which everything has fallen apart and the world is so messy and uncertain that people aren't even sure if it's a time during which one should sort of have joy or make art. So the two. The two years together. So, yeah, there you go. That's. That's my best attempt.
