A review by rhondy
Australia Day by Melanie Cheng
4.0
Cheng' Australia Day was a delightful exploration of the concept of belonging within the present day Australia.
Throughout the collection of short stories, the wide variety of settings, characters and plots were engaging and entertaining.
I really enjoyed that it was easily to read, yet it broached some sensitive topics and touch points. As is the case with short story collections, some stories appealed more than others.
I found that it left me with a strong sense of empathy, and I appreciate the insight that Cheng has applied to her work.
I am a grateful recipient of an advance copy of this book, and will enjoy rereading over the years.
