The Year the Maps Changed by Danielle Binks
5.0
I was really surprised where it ended up. Prepare your tissues. Utterly heartbreaking. Beautiful story about family and a slice of Australian history that many do not know about.
It wasn't the cute little story I expected it to be. But it was full of guts and heart and had me engrossed.
“...maps lie. Or at least they don't
tell the truth. They're like humans
that way.”
“My mum used to say you had two hands: one to help yourself, and one to help others ...
though I sometimes wonder the hand used to help others moves a bit slower and with less purpose than the one we use to help ourselves.”
Highly recommended.
Trigger warning: miscarriage/loss of child
