Only Birds Above - A novel about family, war and intergenerational trauma

My guest for this episode is Portland Jones. Portland is a writer, lecturer and horse trainer who lives and works in the Swan Valley. She has a PhD in Literature and her first novel, Seeing the Elephant, was shortlisted for the City of Fremantle Hungerford Award. Only Birds Above is her second novel. She has also co-authored a non-fiction book, Horses Hate Surprise Parties. Portland is currently working on a third novel and another non-fiction book. 

Only Birds Above is a beautifully realised work of historical fiction which spans the years just prior to WWI to the end of WWII.
