This book was over-written, but, once I got used to the author's style, I enjoyed it (if that's even appropriate considering the content). It follows the aftermath of a school massacre through the point of view of the perpetrator's mother, who always knew her son wasn't quite "right". Fascinating with a great twist in the last few pages.

A little bit of "light" reading over the Christmas break. I started each of these books in 2016, but they've taken me a while to get through because of the nature of the content, especially #ALittleLife, which has been heartbreaking to read.

This book was nothing like I had expected. I thought it was going to be a story of the British colonisation of Australia and the impact on indigenous people. It sort of was, but also wasn't. Thanks for the thought-provoking recommendation, @Rissreads , and for letting me borrow your book 😊

The pages of this book are getting a little worn, but that's because I have read and re-read it many times. Always an easy/light read when I need some inspiration to get things done, as it follows the story of author Janice MacLeod as she leaves her mundane life behind in the pursuit of new adventures.

This book was beautiful to read, but also difficult. It follows the stories of several characters whose lives intertwine, albeit through tragedies over the course of several decades. It's not all sad though. Beautiful friendships are formed and families created between people unrelated.
