Packs a lot into a very short fascinating novella. I don't think I can improve on the blurb for a description about the book. It's definitely a novella for now. Refugees, finding your place, forgotten languages, first nations people, domestic violence, urban isolation. Covers so much. Very pleased that it has a place on the Miles Franklin long-list otherwise it might not have appeared on my radar.
There maybe a slight question about misappropriation of other's stories but it has an authentic quality about it. It feels like the author has managed to really place themselves in the character's shoes.
