A murder and a moral dilemma. Insight into life as an illegal immigrant. Yes. This is good.

So one is an illegal immigrant in Australia, and one knows about a murder, and has information on who, probably, has done it. Do you come forward, and get deported? Or do you stay in limbo?

A rather annoying Sri Lankan cleaner ponders this for about 250 pages.

Not great. Not bad. Just really annoying.

DNF @ 20% - I found it difficult to get into. Will try this book again at another time.

slow-paced
This book was poor in its execution of the idea. The writing style was not my cup of tea and it was a large factor in why I did not enjoy the book.
