Beautiful prose and lovely imagery. This book reminds me of the harshness that life can give us and the resilience we acquire along the way.
There is a juxtaposition which Mackellar grapples with; belonging to continuing generations of farmers and knowing the land was stolen. She writes about the complicated feelings of her ‘belonging still [having]the feeling of theft.’
It’s an idea that we should all grapple with. ‘Graft’ has been a balm for my heart and mind with its gentle prose and evocative images.
