Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton
5.0
4.5 Stars
This book is at times raw and gut-wrenching yet also manages to convey great love and heartfelt beauty. The beauty that is found in family and friends, even if the circumstances are brutal and ugly. The beauty to be found in communities even if they are in a prison yard or a drug riddled neighbourhood. And the beauty and majesty that can be found in the individual, each containing a universe of potential, choices and questions - all that can be answered when given time.
