This books mainly focuses on grief and coming to terms with loss. This is done through a few characters that we met through out the book, but the main being Beth Teller's father. The book deals with grief and loss through a case that Beth's father is trying to solve. It is also through this case that the author shows the discrimination against Australian Aboriginals endure. From cold cases of missing young aboriginal girls, how they are taken advantage of, and the racisms that is present through the country.
I thought this is a well crafted book and something that will keep you thinking long after you have finished. I highly recommend this read for the story and the characters that go through very real emotions and reactions to everything.
