this was a really beautiful and well-written story that follows the lives of two immigrant, non-English speaking women who move to Australia to lead different lives. i quite enjoyed the overall themes of language, our relationship to English and how that places us, women's friendship and how we lean on each other, etc. this story moved quickly but managed to give depth to both women's stories and handled all the mentioned themes gracefully.
