This book is unbelievably difficult to get through and under 200 pages I️ have managed to get lost, disgusted, repulsed, and confused by the generational sexual abuse and trauma. Throughout the book is Kanak politics, history, culture and customs so I found that to be interesting and insightful. However I️ am still trying to wrap my head around the multiple wrecks that are within this multi-generational story. It’s dark and multi-layered and definitely worth a read.
