The Bone Sparrow
by Zana Fraillon
4.5*
The Bone Sparrow tells the story of a young boy named Subhi who was born and has lived all his life in an asylum seekers detention centre.
The story is told from Subhi’s point of view, as he tells of his life in this place. The voice of a child brings a sense of innocence and tragedy to the story, as we see through his eyes how things are.
The story brings themes of friendship, family and found family, as well as displacement and injustice. An important story for all to read, especially as it’s all too easy to imagine things like this don’t go on in the modern world.
