The book was an ok read, but maybe too intellectual for me as I felt the story, which was essentially about a Sri Lanken immigrant's life was lost amongst the many themes raised (feminism, racism, friendship, jealousy) that seemed to have no conclusion and little connection. It also touched briefly on the disgusting sexual abuse of children perpetrated by family members, and creative persons of influence and power.

A powerful story well told. Such a tragedy that so many women have been treated so inhumanely by men for so long. Sadly the cycle of abuse in indigenous communities remains endemic. Let's hope they enshrine that indigenous women get 50% representation if the Uluru Statement is passed.
