Terra Nullius by Claire G. Coleman
2.0
'Terra Nullius' by Claire G. Coleman was the October book club book pick for my book club.
Taking place in Australia, the book is about a young man named Jacky who has escaped a residential school in Australia and is being hunted down to be brought back. This feels like a standard story of indigenous people and the colonizers who only see them as lesser or animals. It is that and a bit more as the scope of the book changes about the 1/3 mark.
I liked the story by the end, but it was hard for me to get in to the story and it felt overly long to make its points. I liked the story and characters though.
