At times a bit too esoteric, but overall a good read. The shifting perspectives and intertwining stories were a strength. While the story telling involving refugee and immigrant children is powerful and necessary, but the representation of native cultures could definitely have been better.
Graphic: Child death, Cursing, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Police brutality and Racism
