pickAnother ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. Thank you so much @CarolynM ! This book is like nothing else. Visceral and biting. Angry and loving all at once.
For an outsider like me, knowing little about Aboriginal culture, this is a dive in the deep end - you‘re seeing the impact of generations of colonisation, racism, cruelty, without every reference explained to you, the outsider, in a tidy package. It‘s stronger this way.
An estranged daughter returns ⬇️
Centique ...to her family home. Her life is up-ended and her family and ancestral land is under threat. You meet the far flung family, ancestors and their stories make an appearance, pain and sacrifice has to be accounted for, dealt with in the way of this “mob”. It‘s raw and violent and honest and gripping and definitely kick-arse. (trigger warnings here for a couple of things - ask me if you‘re concerned) 5y
Centique @Reggie you may have already stacked this, but if not I think you‘d like it! 5y
Missusb I have sat across the room from Melissa, and she is an awesome sight and sound to behold #intimidated #suchafan 5y

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 5y
CarolynM I'm delighted that you liked it so much 🙂 and you have written an excellent review. I agree about the trigger warnings - I think my review noted foul language and abuse of many kinds. @Missusb I think I'd be intimidated too, but I'd love to tell her how good I think this is and how I'd love a book all about Black Superman😂😂😂 5y
Rissreads Fantastic review ❤ 5y
TheEllieMo Sounds great, but I can‘t get it in the UK 😩 5y
batsy Fabulous review! Now I really want to read this. 5y
Centique @Missusb how wonderful! I hope she comes to our local writers festival one day. 5y
Centique @CarolynM a book about Black Superman would be so good 😍 5y
Centique @Rissreads @TrishB thank you 😘 5y
Centique @TheEllieMo awww! I did find they have it on Book Depository UK but I know some people avoid buying from them. 5y
TheEllieMo @Centique I didn‘t even think to look there! Thanks😊 5y
Centique @batsy I think you‘d really enjoy it. It‘s made me want to read more Aboriginal writing for sure - the way they view animals is particularly fascinating to me. 5y
Reggie I stacked it when @CarolynM reviewed it but your passion for it will make me read it sooner than later. Nice review!! 5y
