Too Afraid to Cry by Ali Cobby Eckermann

2.0

Very sparse memoir of growing up as an Aboriginal girl in Australia.There was an ugly movement to remove these children from their parents..in the hopes that they would become more civilized. Each chapter ends with poetry. Perhaps it's the translation, as I didnt/couldn't viscerally connect with what truly is a horrific period of racism.
I read an advance copy and was not compensated.
