I will say first that I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program, and I'm grateful to the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

This was a really interesting read--I'm far more familiar with settler colonialism in north and central America than I am with it in Australia, so this was an interesting and fairly welcoming introduction into Aboriginal literature. It feels dream-like in some places, and some of the sensory details, especially from Tilly as she starts to kind of emerge from her trauma. It's really beautiful, though I got nervous in the last third. I'd say if you're new to indigenous literature altogether, this is a really solid place to start--like I said, it's approachable, and it balances trauma and recovery really nicely.
