This book didn't grab me from the onset, but once I was further in and had an inkling of where Winch was guiding her story, I was consumed. The chapters narrated by Poppy (or his Wiradjuri language dictionary) were most definitely my favourite element of the book. The narrative of August tied together with the repossession of her childhood home were incredibly compelling as well as remarkably informative. Winch has woven together a remarkable series of tales that all Australians in particular should read, about the importance of land rights and loss and preservation of First Nations language/s.
