A review by kiani
Between Us by Claire Atkins

4.0

Yet another beautifully crafted story by Claire Atkins. After reading Nona & Me in 2015 I waited for Atkins to write another novel and I was surely not disappointed. Between Us creates a story from the present situations of refugees coming to Australia. The use of three different perspectives; a refugee, a guard and an Australian student allows the emotions of each opinion to be highlighted. This story outlines the terror many refugees experience and the need to change Australian law to help them overcome such struggles.
