Episode 150: 'The Golden Olive Tree' A memoir of family and migration featuring Nella Peel

Ciao amici this is the 150th episode of the Italian Australian Podcast! We are so excited to have reached this milestone and we thank everyone who has supported us along the way, especially our family, Lukas’s wife Vanessa and my fiancé Daniel. We also thank each of our guests and all of you for listening. Our guest this week is Nella, a proud Italian Australian who immigrated to Australia as a child with her parents and 7 siblings. Nella told us about her family story and we chatted about the admiration she holds for her parents. She told us about how whilst grieving following the death of her mother she chose to write The Golden Olive Tree in her honour, a deeply moving memoir of family and migration.
