A review by amotisse
Drylands by Thea Astley

4.0

i was reading maybe 3 or 4 books at a time, so it took me a while to get through.
life in these dusty landscapes, that i love, is much less desirable for these characters.
like waiting for something to happen that never does, or screaming and no one can hear, or like being invisible.
some stories are harder to finish than others, not because they aren't good, they just touch us differently. maybe not the right kind of escapism?
