The Things She's Seen by Ambelin Kwaymullina, Ezekiel Kwaymullina
5.0
This story very artfully and with amazing beauty addresses grief and trauma. While the choice of language and imagery evokes powerful emotions and understanding of the emotions, there isn't graphic descriptions.
There are two characters whose prospective we get to hear from and the choice in the marked styling difference really made a contrast between the two, but also, each felt fully appropriate for their narrator at the story they were experiencing or telling.
The only slightly negative comment I have to say is that some of the pacing felt fast or the progression of some things felt sped through. But, the strength of the authors leading readers through the emotional journeys and traumas of the characters makes it a book well worth reading for those prepared for such a power story.
