Taboo by Kim Scott
2.0
Taboo is set in Western Australia in an area where many decades earlier, the local Aboriginal people killed a white man who had raped an Aboriginal woman, which then resulted in a massacre of the Aboriginal people by the white people. The area has been taboo to the Aboriginal people but a group revisit and are in discussion regarding establishing a peace monument with the white land owner.
I spent most of this book having no idea what was going on. There are so many characters and the story jumps around in time. The bits I did understand were bleak. It was a struggle.
