As an Australian this book Gad enough that I could relate to the book but was abstract enough that I wanted to know what was going to happen. The writing was truly beautiful would highly recommend!

I was recommended this book by a dear friend, to dive more into Australian literature.
Not my usual kind of read, but I enjoyed its interesting mix of thought provoking moments and twists and turns of a crime novel.
