Swallow the Air by Tara June Winch
4.0
A contemporary but ancient story. One with a lot of pain and sadness but also love and belonging.
It's the familiar story of indigenous people trying to find solace in their sorrow and loss through substance abuse leading to a cycle of more sorrow and more loss. There's also quite a bit of hope in the amount of love and sense of belonging from that love once the cycle is broken. Certainly not a hopeless story, one with a lot of hope and powerfully told.
I'll be reading this again, I'm just that fascinated by this author's work. I also hope to read The Yield again sooner than later.
Can't wait to read more from this brilliant author.
