kalliste's review against another edition

In the beginning, I found Mercy incredibly frustrating. Perhaps it was that all we saw of her was the anxiety and learnt almost nothing about the 'why' behind it for a very long time... other than her house burning down of course.
I started to enjoy the book more as Mercy's story was explained, but it took a long time to get there. I was also preoccupied with how Mercy had been on the road, in the heat and the red dust for days, had pushed herself to go into the supermarket, but hadn't had a shower.

A great story about the Australian Outback. It's beautiful and sweet and strong and in some ways confronting depending on what part of your own life journey you're on! A lovely read like a warm cuppa and a blanket while it's raining.

What a fantastic book! It started slower than I had anticipated, but honestly I'm glad it did. It gave me plenty of opportunity to reflect on the events taking place, whereas normally I feel as though I may have missed aspects. The book did feel like it came to a quick and somewhat unsatisfactory ending, but I'll just consider that a hint at how much I was enjoying it. A very calming read that is perfect for anyone going on a roadtrip themselves.
