December’s @readingby.candlelight Historical Fiction Book Box features the incredibly talented Emily Paull and her debut novel THE DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS — and our interview is now live!

The Distance Between Dreams is a sweeping dual-timeline love story spanning continents and generations. A long-buried family secret links two families from opposite sides of the tracks, and when their children fall in love decades later, that secret threatens to tear them apart.

Set against the backdrop of both World Wars — from Fremantle, WA to the horror of the Thai–Burma Railway — it’s a powerful read for fans of Natasha Lester and Kate Morton ✨
