A review by angiex
No More Boats by Felicity Castagna

4.0

Thoroughly entertaining. A uniquely Australian novel that weaves the mundane with the politics of the time (2001). A slow burn character driven plot, this was cleverly written and engaging. Felicity Castagna does a wonderful job of highlighting the irony and cognitive dissonance inherent in a nation of immigrants (and their descendants) that are hostile to refugees and asylum seekers. I loved the nod at the end of the book to the role of the media in shaping public opinion. A great read.
