4.0

Richard Evans gives us another thought provoking story with Forgotten People.

Now, as a white Australian with European heritage, I know that I am privileged. I have never faced racism, have never had the issues that First Australians deal with every day. And I also know that I have never really done anything to help, which is shameful.

In this book, Evans brings to light the troubles that we all tend to ignore, and will have you thinking "what would I do to save my family and my heritage?"

It will also have you second guessing all you know, and will probably confirm a lot of things you already thought about our politicians and government (not that it would really surprise any of us what they get up to to line their own pockets).

You can't help but feel for our main protaganist Miller as she tries to get, I guess you would call it retribution for the past 3 centuries of white man rule.

And you can't help but hate the men who are supposedly helping. Out for all they can get. For themselves. Like always.

Forgotten People has left me with a lot of soul searching to do.

I look forward to what Mr Evans brings us in the future.
