Swallow the Air by Tara June Winch
4.0
An utterly compelling read that lures the reader into May’s grief and search for meaning after the death of her mother with short vignettes of stark reality then dreamlike memory.
The loss of May’s mother sparks her need for place and her search for her aboriginal identity after the people in her life slowly fall into their own destruction. Whilst each story felt more grim than the one before, their was a thin chord of hope that resonated throughout in May’s relentless need to forge her own path and discover her identity and connection to country.
